Elizabeth Ramiez, 5, dressed as an angel, stands Saturday on the parade float for Seventh-day Adventist Church of Springdale before the start of the annual Christmas Parade of the Ozarks at Parsons Stadium. The theme for the parade was “Candy Canes & Christmas Carols.” Floats met at Parsons Stadium more than an hour before the start of the parade to get organized. The parade went west on East Emma Avenue from the stadium.
