The weather outside was nippy Friday night when floats, the Newton High School marching band and Santa and his reindeer came to Porterdale Friday night for the annual Christmas Parade.
The following day, on a cool, but clear, day the annual Covington Lions Club Christmas Parade delighted spectators.
Floats from organizations, businesses and churches throughout Newton County participated in the parade, which was capped off by Santa Claus riding through the Square in a vintage Covington fire truck.
