McMinnville’s annual Christmas Parade was held Sunday, attracting 96 entries. 

The participants braved the cold along with the hundreds of spectators. The parade was initially scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 2, but the rainy weather caused the parade to be postponed. The parade was at 3 p.m. on Sunday with temperatures in the 40s. The event was set to go on rain or shine, and thankfully the rain held off.
