More than 80 Christmas-themed floats, motorized vehicles, and marching groups paraded north on Morriss Road to the cheers of approximately 4,500 spectators Saturday during the 22nd Annual Flower Mound Christmas Parade.
State Sen. Jane Nelson served as Grand Marshal. Denton County Commissioners Bobby Mitchell and Andy Eads, along with State Rep. Tan Parker, also joined in the festivities and rode on the Town Council float.
