For all you Halls lovers out there...

Tonight is the Halls Has It! Christmas Parade. Starts at 6 p.m. when those rumored to be unnecessary Sheriff's Office helicopters roar south on Maynardville Highway (we start at the high school and end at the Kroger).

The grand marshal is John Vandergriff, TSSAA heavyweight wrestling champion. Next come the Man and Woman of the Year, then the guest band -- Fulton High School. Then about 1,000 small twirlers, Mary Lou Horner on the Shopper float, another bunch of twirlers and the mighty Halls High Marching Band. Then Santa. Then the horses. Then the pooper-scoopers. Yawl come! -- s.
