At 6 p.m., the parade rolled out from Redwood Acres and headed to I Street where they turned and continued until reaching 7th Street. Eventually driving up Myrtle and returning to the Redwood Acres Fairgrounds.
The parade featured a wide range of vehicles, from semis and tow trucks to pickups and specialty rigs, all wrapped in holiday lights and decorations. Spectators waved, snapped photos, and cheered as drivers slowly made their way through town, continuing a local tradition that has marked the holiday season for decades.
