Hickman celebrated their annual Christmas Parade a bit different this year.

Instead of the floats caravaning down South Seventh Street, they parked on the parking lot of Fulton County High School, and those wishing to view drove around to view the floats. At the exit, the drivers were instructed to go to the Jeff Green Memorial Park, to view the Christmas Cards, and Santa and a few of his elves were handing out candy, through a "candy cane" shute, for contactless delivery.

There were four entries of floats this year and only First Place was given. The Grand Marshals (members of the family of the late James Adams) chose the float created by Fulton County FFA as the winner.

Other floats entered were Cayce Baptist Church and West Hickman Baptist. Buddy and Cecelia Amberg decorated an old tractor to display.

Around 70 - 80 vehicles drove through to see the floats and visit Santa.
