As we move from summer into Fall, with the students returning to school and the farmers harvesting their crops, what better time to enjoy a night of family fun! This year we would like to invite you to join in celebrating the "Wonders of the Wild," and have fun by being a part of the parade of lights on Saturday, October 15, 2016 at 7:30 P.M.
We'll also have pre-parade events starting at 6pm near the downtown plaza: tricycle races, bed races, handcycle challenge, and Palio horse sculpture races!
The 27th annual parade theme this year is, “Wonders of the Wild," which offers unlimited opportunities for creativity. Entries can highlight animals and plants; different environments (e.g. mountains, ocean, jungle, etc); camping, hiking and canoeing in nature; anything related to the wonderment of the natural and beautiful world all around us!
Note: You definitely can not use too many lights! Lights should be your #1 focus on you and your entry. Feel free to use music too! Make your entry entertaining for the people along the parade route. Some sources for battery operated lights are:
Search for "battery operated Christmas lights" for additional sites.There will not be a single judging stand; parade judges will be stationed at various points along the parade route. Entries must keep moving during the parade to prevent back-ups and uneven spacing of the entries along the parade route.
Come join the celebration – joining together as a community and enjoying the magic of a brilliant light parade!
