Ho ho holidays!

Events planned throughout Callaway County

Santa had it easy in last year's Fulton Jaycees Christmas Parade with a comfy ride on a cushy sofa, cookies and milk at hand, and temperatures hovering near 70 degrees. The parade had plenty of spectators and their dogs receiving gifts of candy and canine treats strewn by participants.
