Lots of holiday happenings took place all over the island this past winter including the second annual Topsail Beach Christmas Parade. The 2005 parade was so wonderful, residents wondered if the enthusiasm could be maintained, but under the watchful eye of event organizer Cynthia Harris, the popular family event was bigger and better than ever.

It may be hot outside now, but these smiling faces will warm your heart and make you want to start on your parade entry for 2007!
