Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus ride on their town-sponsored float -- a replica of their living room -- and wave to the crowd lining the streets during the Pikeville Christmas Parade Sunday afternoon. Town police estimated that about 500 people turned out for the half-hour-long parade, which was the sixth in two days in Wayne County and the surrounding communities. Other parades over the weekend included Mount Olive, Goldsboro, Fremont, Faison and Princeton.
