Holiday cheer: Thousands of spectators turned out last Saturday for the 35th Annual Christmas Parade in Richmond. Dozens of huge balloon characters, floats, marching bands and Santa made their way along Broad Street from the Science Museum of Virginia east to the Richmond Coliseum in Downtown to the smiles and cheers of people of all ages.
