SHELBY – East Main Street was glowing Sunday night in downtown Shelby, as community members lined the sidewalks and ushered in the Christmas season with a Parade of Lights.

Despite cold and rainy conditions, those in attendance stuck around after the parade to watch the lighting of several Christmas trees around the downtown gazebo.
