Crowds lined both sides of W. Hundred Road on Sunday waiting for the start of the Christmas season with the arrival of the Chester Kiwanis Christmas Parade. Bob Cassada, CCHASM president, served as the Grand Marshall  leading fifty-six entries that included floats, horses, cars, clowns, dancers, marchers, walkers  and more.
