The fifth installment of the Lights of Lugoff Christmas Parade was the warmest night yet. In fact, Santa nearly shed his fur suit and grabbed an ice cold slush from Sonic to cool his jolly old self.
The hottest thing in town wasn’t the weather however. The sizzling creativity displayed by parade floats and participants brought the crowd along Highway 1 to a fever pitch. It was another great night to be at the coolest Christmas event in the Midlands. Even though the sun was not a participant (we keep inviting him, but he always tells us he has to be somewhere else), we’d like to shine some rays on some of the outstanding entries in the parade this year:
- Best Overall Professional Float: Fitness Zone
- Best Overall Non-Professional Float: Dance Extraordinaire
- Frank Rabon Spirit Award: Friendship Baptist Church
- Best Use of Lights: Lugoff House of Pizza
