Enjoy "A Cowboy Christmas" as Santa and his elves gallop down Main
Street along with the Marching Spartan Band, antique cars and
tractors, bedecked horses, and fabulous floats. Grand marshal Susie
Smith will "head 'em up and lead 'em out" at 2 p.m. Before and
after the parade, linger to enjoy a variety of old-fashioned holiday
entertainment, including a VIP reception, a visit with Santa Claus
and entertainment at the fire station.
The Christmas Stroll will resume following the parade until 4:30
p.m. Local businesses will be open. A vendor fair at the old
pharmacy building on Main Street will serve as an old-time general
store for your holiday shopping needs. The vendors will offer a
variety of products from local crafters and home-based businesses.
Support local fundraising organizations as well as local businesses
who will exhibit their wares from 11 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
At 4:30 p.m., gather at Veterans Park for the annual tree
lighting and carol singalong. Following the lighting, prize winners
will be announced in various categories.
Cap off the evening with a hearty soup supper served at St. John
United Church of Christ. Serving begins at 5:30 p.m., and all
proceeds will benefit the Minier Relay for Life.
Rope in this fun-filled day and giddyup on down to Main Street in
Minier on Saturday.
