The City of Alexandria rang in the holiday season Sunday with the county’s first Christmas parade. Floats, antique cars and tractors, mule teams and horses, both the Watertown and DeKalb high school bands, Smokey the Bear, and a visit from Saint Nick were the highlights of the city’s annual parade. Alexandria Police Chief Mark Collins and Sheriff Patrick Ray led the procession through town, with Grand Marshals Billy and Sue Corley close behind.
