ASHLAND, Ky. (WSAZ) -- Thousands of people gathered Tuesday night in Ashland for the region's largest Christmas parade.
This year's theme is "I'll Be Home for Christmas, and the U.S. Army National Guard's 201st Engineer Battalion -- recently back from the Middle East -- served as grand marshals.
We will have additional coverage later Tuesday evening.

Why don't you explain to a 5 year old to be appreciative when they expect candy to be given out and there isn't any? I don't understand what you are saying about "had to distance from the bad and the units we distance." Is this parade lingo? When the groups are almost 2 blocks from each other, that's a bit much. I'm sure it's not your fault, you did your best at passing out your 500 pieces of candy to thousands of residents. Glad you were prepared for a small percentage. I know you can't give to all, but space it out some, know the route and expect more kids to be wanting candy than you have pieces for.

to bc resident, i was in the parade. we had candy but when u have people running at u for things its impossible. we gave out both candy and information for people to come to our church ( pens, cards, candy caines). If people we be more appreciative if they got some it would help. And you can only bring so much. we had 500 pieces of candy. be appreciative if any was given. and the gaps were because many had to be distance from the bad and the units we distance..u shuld know santa is the end

Overall, the parade was nice. One major thing though, too much gap between floats or groups. I was on Winchester in front of the Ashland Alliance office and at times, I thought it was over because nobody else was even close, you could barely see them coming. The kids on that end of the parade were a little disappointed about the floats not having any candy left. I saw the guy from WKEE turn his bucket upside down. Stock up a little more next year or save some for the last leg of the parade.
