The streets were lined with people sitting on the side of Highway 75 and Center Point Highway, some in cars some in chairs all the way from Pinson High School down to Triangle Park. Children, adults and pets waited for the City of Pinson Christmas Parade to pass.
Parade participants lined the parking lot of Pinson High School where the judging of floats took place. First, second and third place ribbons were awarded along with prize money of 100.00, 50.00 and 25.00.
The prize money was donated according to city councilor Joy McCain. (see December 14 issue for rest of story)

Currently, The Village at Pinson, otherwise known as the Food Giant Shopping Center, is not located in the City of Pinson. Yet, City of Pinson residents patron the stores, and spend money on a daily basis at these businesses. According Pinson council members the owner of Hubbard Properties was contacted several times to discuss annexing the property into the city but have received no response.
One business owner said one reason for their annexation interest is due to the recent passing of the Smoking Ordinance
The new Smoking ordinance requires merchants in the city to install an HVAC system and a smoking/non smoking area if the business is to allow smoking. (see the December 14 issue for rest of story)
