COAL GROVE — The annual Coal Grove Christmas parade was held on Friday evening with floats from local groups and agencies, and of course, Santa Claus.

The parade was sponsored by the Coal Grove Betterment Club, which organizes community projects in the village.

The group’s works include funding scholarship for a senior at Dawson-Bryant High School, decorating the village and the park for the holiday season, maintaining the park and the Jay Roush Building, and sponsoring the Family Fun Days celebration during the summer.
