Are you ready for an old-fashioned “Homemade Country Christmas”? There are only three days until the Electric Light Parade Saturday, Dec. 3. Are your lights in working order and are the batteries charged?
The parade line up is at the area by the Teen Center with smaller floats lining up in front of Kearny Town Hall and larger floats will line up on Jamestown starting at 5 p.m. with the parade starting at 6 and ending at the GKI. Since it is dark at 5 p.m. it is hard to have to write last minute notes for the MC, therefore it is important to have a legible script ready at parade lineup.
Uptown on Alden there will be vendors with their homemade items which make great gifts. Menudo and posole will be sold in front of the Chamber office. There is no charge for the parade entries nor for the vendors. Just let Angela know at the Chamber office for vendor space.
Alden will be closed between the Bank and Ace Hardware as soon as the parade ends so the children will be safe as they rush to visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus.
One of the most memorable and inspirational events of the season is the Love Light and Luminarios on Monday, Dec 19. If there is a love one you want to remember, purchase an angel. At the ceremony the name will be read and the angel hung on the tree. Luminarios will be available for purchase from Junior Chamber members in honor of or in memory of whomever. The luminarios will be lit just before the Love Light ceremony.
