Devonshire Street and Mason Avenue on Sunday as hundreds of residents watched the Holiday Spirit Parade, which returned after a two-year hiatus. ``This is my first grand anything,'' joked actor Todd Susman Todd Susman (born January 17, 1947, in St. Louis, Missouri) is an American actor.

The term has its origins with the word "Marshal" with the first usage of the term "Grand Marshal" as a ceremonial title for certain religious orders. . ``I'm a Chatsworth resident. I've been here eight years. It's a great community.'' Borrowing from the classic Christmas tale, the parade's theme was ``It's a Wonderful Life in Chatsworth.'' It offered everything youths and adults hoped for: more than 100 horses, six brass bands, police officials performing motorcycle stunts, a fleet of Corvettes, and Susman, sporting a zebra motif tie, riding in the back seat of a pristine 1932 Packard. ``It's like a moving piece of cotton candy,'' said Susman, who had roles in a plethora of movies, including ``Beverly Hills Cop II'' and ``The Juror juror n. any person who actually serves on a jury. Lists of potential jurors are chosen from various sources such as registered voters, automobile registration or telephone directories. ,'' as well as television episodes, including ``Living Single.'' It was a refreshing boost for this close-knit community, which sorely missed the parade the past two years.

The hiatus curtailed awareness of the event, which drew about 1,500 spectators, according to Los Angeles police estimates. Montano said he hopes next year's event will attract 30,000 people. ``This is a community in its own right,'' said state Assemblyman Tom McClintock, R-Granada Hills, one of several dignitaries present. ``It's not simply a subdivision of Los Angeles.'' ``In L.A., it's hard to get that sense of community,'' added parade fan Sandy Bougeon of Chatsworth.
