CHRISTMAS PARADE -CANCELLEDq

It has been decided. This year’s Elkmont Christmas Parade has been cancelled due to cold, very wet weather.

*******************************************

As in years past, parade watchers can expect to see a fleet of antique tractors and trucks, lots of firetrucks, the Elkmont High School band and auxiliary, riders on horseback, and Jolly Old Saint Nick bringing up the rear atop a carriage drawn by a team of Clydesdale horses. The theme for this year's parade is “Carols of Christmas,” with floats designed around a favorite holiday song. Elkmont High School teacher and longtime girls basketball coach Steve Bates will serve as this year's grand marshal.

“Steve does a lot of things behind the scenes for people in this community, but he never wants to be recognized for what he's done,” parade planner Susan Pylant said. “This is our way of honoring someone who means so much to this community.”

Our parade is a parade for everyone!!  
Starts at 1 pm from the school.

Float entries will be accepted through Thursday.
