The theme for the 2008 Lighted Christmas Parade is… “An Ideal Christmas!" “Some of the groups and businesses who entered floats last year can’t wait to get started on planning this year’s float. We are hoping for a great turnout,” commented MainStreet Manager Frank Milan. “We are also pleased to have Debbie Seibel as Coordinator of the Lighted Christmas Parade this year.” “What is your idea of a model or ideal Christmas?” said Debbie Seibel. "That's what we're looking for, the Christmas vision each of us holds as a model for what this holiday is for us and our family. This year's parade is of course dedicated to children.” “We will also be recognizing the years of organizing and the long-term devotion to this wonderful event by Beverly Redwine, who owned The Model Shop women's clothing store on Bullard and chaired the Lighted Christmas Parade Committee for sixteen years," Seibel said. “An Ideal Christmas!” float could be a Christmas Eve party with presents, a cabin with a Christmas tree, carolers surrounding a miniature town, or a traditional nativity scene. The holiday season is a time of celebration, joy, and anticipation -- it's up to the float-builders to interpret the theme. Committee members have many other suggestions for possible floats. Parade entry applications are now available at the MainStreet office in the Visitor Center at 201 N. Hudson. A special float-building workshop will be held Thursday October 16th from 7-8 pm in the Silco Theater, at 311 N. Bullard. Anyone interested in putting a float together can attend, whether or not they have yet submitted an application.
