Foggy and drizzly weather didn’t stop thousands of people from showing up to watch the Bluff Park Christmas Parade Saturday morning.
The parade started about 10 a.m. at the Bluff Park Community Park, then proceeded along Cloudland Drive (behind Bluff Park Elementary School), turned right onto Lester Lane, then turned south on Clearview Road (which turns into Maiden Lane), right onto Rockview Lane, right onto Cloudland Drive and ended back at the park next to the Shades Cliff Pool.
The Bluff Park Women’s Rec League took first place in the float contest, followed by Alabama Lights in second place and Hammer & Stain in third place.
Others in the parade included the Hoover High School marching band, Hoover Mayor Frank Brocato, scouting groups, the Hoover Belles, the Hoover Public Library, a variety of beauty queens, dance teams, businesses, churches, fire trucks and, of course, Santa Claus.
