In addition to the earlier starting
time, a new parade route will be introduced. The parade travels
north from the corner of Wyatt Avenue and Kickapoo, turns east on
Pulaski Street, north on McLean, west on Broadway and continues west
to Sangamon Street, where it heads south to the finish in the
parking lots of Carroll School and Logan County Health Department.
"Participants can access the
parade lineup from the chamber's website at
www.lincolnillinois.com
or by calling the chamber at 735-2385," said Bobbi Abbott, executive
director of the chamber. "With close to 100 entries, we encourage
participants to arrive early to prepare for the 6:30 p.m. starting
time."
Spectators are encouraged to bring
unwrapped toys for the Marines' "Toys for Tots" program. Local
volunteers will collect the toys during the parade.
Parents are invited to bring their
children and their cameras to The Oasis, 501 Pulaski St.,
immediately following the parade for visits with Santa.
CITV Cable 5
will delay-broadcast the event during the month of December.
