The Yazoo Chamber of Commerce will host the annual Yazoo Christmas Parade Dec. 6 at 6 p.m.
This year’s theme is “Sparkle & Shine ... It’s Christmas Time.”
The Chamber of Commerce has taken on the parade this year as a service to the community.
The parade will have three categories, Business, Civic and Religious. Awards will be given for first, second and third place winners in each category.
Entries may be floats, antique or classic vehicles, automobiles, marching bands, etc., but participants are asked not to have Santa on their floats because Santa will be riding on the CF Industries float at the end of the parade.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
