For this year's Christmas parade, themed "Santa's Toyland," Security First Insurance created a float featuring a vintage "toy" fire truck adorned with giant Christmas lights made from recycled 2-liter bottles and topped with a working, life-size wind-up key.

Ormond Beach's 33rd annual Home for the Holidays parade, which the company helped sponsor, took place on Dec. 14. Security First's new float made its debut along the 1.5-mile parade route, accompanied by over 60 people, including team members and their families, according to a press release. The group was dressed in festive, custom-designed T-shirts, spreading holiday cheer.

In appreciation for the sponsorship, Security First received VIP tickets, which were raffled to team members. The VIP ticket winners were treated to a special reception with Santa and Mrs. Claus at City Hall, and reserved seating to watch the parade.

"We are thrilled to be part of this wonderful community event," said Melissa Burt DeVriese, president of Security First Insurance in the press release. "Our vintage fire truck float symbolizes our commitment to preserving tradition while embracing the joy and spirit of the holidays."
