Christmas carolers, framed in the doorway at E. 1st and Main, whirled up a little magic singing all the best songs of the season at Christmas on the River in downtown Parkville on Friday night, Dec. 3. Santa Claus, pointy-eared elves, and merry reindeers, including Rodolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, warmed the hearts of countless young people with joy and wonder. Local musician Jillian Riscoe was the headline performer leading up to a spectacular fireworks display.
