Annual Christmas parade delights Breckenridge residents of all ages
Breckenridge looked like a scene from a holiday cartoon special on Saturday night, Dec. 14, as the Chamber of Commerce hosted the annual Christmas Parade with the theme “Another Charlie Brown Christmas.” Dozens of vehicles paraded down Walker Street, many sporting Snoopy’s dog house, Charlie Brown and Lucy look-alikes, and other icons from the animated TV special.
