Two Apopka Christmas Parade judges have been announced. The parade will be held Saturday, December 10, on Park Avenue.

Pamela Joy Smith, a retired career criminal prosecutor who was also an Apopka Christmas Parade judge, takes the position again this year. Dorian Goodman, who was a flight attendant for 23 years, will also join her.

The third and last judge has not been announced as of press time.

The Apopka Christmas Parade will follow the traditional route along Park Avenue from Third Street north to Votaw Road.

Steve Deviese, an Apopka CPA and parade chair, said that the parade is lucky to have John Ricketson as this year’s grand marshal. Ricketson is the publisher of The Apopka Chief and The Planter.

“He’s a pillar of the community,” Deviese said.
