Christmas Parade Controversy Blows Up In Norman


UPDATE: It is being reported late today that Ed Coplin of Coplin’s Office Supply has agreed to form volunteers to take over the Christmas Parade.

The action came after a meeting where some argued for restoring the name "Christmas Parade," an action favored by 90 percent of those who participated in The Norman Transcript's online poll. Read more.
