For a small community, the Farmer City Christmas parade is an impressive display.

Over one hundred floats highlight the annual parade that is this Sunday in Farmer City. City Manager Sue McLaughlin says they hope to begin a new tradition as a part of this year's parade and that is a Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

McLaughlin says their public works department took advantage of the nice weather last week to get those decorations up even though it was at that time, still a few weeks from the parade. 

The Farmer City Christmas parade is Sunday at 2 pm around the downtown square.
