Prepare for Christmas Parade
Thursday, August 27, 2009
This year’s theme for the annual Christmas Parade is “Christmas Vacation.” The parade will be on Dec. 1 in downtown Emporia. In case of inclement weather, the parade will be on Dec. 3.
Participants in the parade are asked to show what they do on Christmas vacation or what a dream vacation would look like. Area businesses, organizations and individuals are invited to participate in the 2009 Christmas Parade. The evening will begin with a dedication and lighting ceremony at 6:30 in the 700 block of Commercial Street.
Entry forms for the parade can be picked up at the Emporia Chamber of Commerce office, 719 Commercial St., or can be printed from the Chamber’s Web site, www.emporiakschamber.org. Once completed, the form can be faxed to the Chamber office at 342-3223 or mailed or hand-delivered to the Chamber office. Parade entry guidelines are also posted on the Web site.
