Did You Know?....In 1995, Blythewood held its first Christmas parade.  It took all of ten minutes and consisted of fifteen  Blythewood community members, a mule pulling a gold cart, and a red truck This happy, thankful group went down Wilson Boulevard to the Post Office. Harold Branham painted a great picture of this first parade.  Who started the parade and why?
