Thanks to all for the magical Christmas parade Ellen Zornes, Executive Director, Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, I wish to thank everyone who had a part in making our annual Christmas Parade such a memorable and fun event! The floats and other entries were as beautiful and 'magical' as always with Santa and Mrs. Claus being a big hit with both young and old.
