Showing off Christmas lights isn’t a new trend, but on Sunday night Brandon residents took it to the next level.
While cars lined the street around Deer Run Addition, several fish houses, trailers and trucks were dressed to the nines with Christmas decorations. The final trailer hauled Santa while his elves handed out gifts to the children in the crowd. Spectators stayed socially distant and by their vehicles during the parade.
