ORANGE PARK- Hundreds of Clay County residents enjoyed the Orange Park Firetruck Parade last Friday Night, which started at Town Hall.

The procession traveled west down Kingsley Avenue and to Arbor Circle, wrapped around to Holly Point Road, moved north on Park Avenue and finally finished along River Road. The group of firetrucks, police cars, and other first responders weaved around the perimeter of Moosehaven and concluded their trip.

The caravan of first responder vehicles played Christmas tunes during the procession. Several school choruses and bands, such as the Oakleaf Elementary choir and chorus, performed lovely holiday music.
