During the festival, the Hamilton County Sheriff Explorers held their annual Toy Ride.

Instead of a registration fee, the Explorers asked for an unwrapped toy that will go to local children.

The lighted Christmas parade was held at 6 p.m.  

The first-place float was the Woman’s Club of Jasper. The second-place float was Hamilton County Elected Officials and Board of County Commissioners. The third-place float was First Presbyterian Church of Jasper.

Following the parade children visited with Santa in the Jasper City Park.
