Mee Memorial Healthcare System brought a little “Toy Story” magic to King City Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture’s 24th Annual Lighted Christmas Parade last Friday, winning one of the top prizes for its float featuring characters from the Disney-Pixar animated film franchise as well as the message, “You’ve Got a Friend in Mee.”
Hundreds of families turned out to watch the festive parade downtown as it traveled along Broadway Street to the Town Square, where children could meet and take photos with Santa himself.
With the theme “Toy Trains and Candy Canes,” this year’s parade participants included the King City High School Marching Band, Monterey County Agricultural and Rural Life Museum, The Stage Hands, Lockwood 4-H, King City Blue Ribbon 4-H, King City Rotary Interact Club, Bitterwater-Tully School, King City Veterinary Clinic, L.A. Hearne Co., Fort Hunter Liggett Color Guard, Monterey County Sheriff’s Office, Monterey County Supervisor Chris Lopez and local police and fire departments.
“Thank you to all the volunteers and everyone who participated in the parade!” stated the King City Chamber on social media.
