The Mountain Home Chamber of Commerce is preparing for a holiday tradition. The Chamber’s annual Christmas Parade is scheduled for December 1st at 6:00 p.m., and this year’s theme will be “Hometown Holiday.”
This year’s parade includes a few changes. A registration form is required for all parade participants. Chamber members can enter the parade for free, but non-members will pay an entry fee of $25.
Parade entries will line up between 4:30 and 6:00. They will enter off Highway 178 and turn onto Bucher Drive. Hospital Drive will need to stay clear in case of medical emergencies.
Floats will line up at the corner of Burnett and Buttercup, and they will be judged during that time. Floats must be marked for judging, preferably on both sides.
Fire trucks and emergency vehicles will line up on Medical Plaza. All cars, tractors and other vehicles will assemble at the corner of Burnett and Beard Street. Car clubs including V-dubbers, T-buckets and others can assemble in the parking lot of Redeemer Lutheran Church.
Marching bands and walkers will line up in the parking lot of First Security Bank at Highway 5 North and Hospital Drive. Horses will enter from Highway 178 and wait in the lot on Buttercup across from Cardiovascular Associates.
The Chamber requests being informed by entries looking to play music. Christmas music will be required.
Candy should not be thrown from vehicles, but it can be handed out to the side of the parade route by walking adults only. In addition, no Santa Claus is allowed other than the one at the end of the parade.
