[November 17, 2018]
Well, the frost is on the pumpkins and there’s a crisp nip in the
air! That can only mean that the holidays are fast approaching. And,
the Olympia Kiwanis Club is busy planning the 2018 Christmas Parade!
This year’s theme is CHRISTMAS IN THE LAND OF LINCOLN. Grand
Marshall honors go to Neill Keneipp, Minier’s Village President and
a fellow Kiwanian. Neill’s long service to Minier and the Olympia
School district is well known. Kiwanis is pleased to honor Mr.
Keneipp.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 1st and line Main Street
in Minier to usher in the holiday season. The Parade starts at 2
p.m. Santa will arrive on the parade route, and after the parade, he
will greet children at the Fire Station.
If you club, church, business or organization wishes to enter a
float, please go to www.Minier.com to access an application form.
Prizes are given for floats.
Again this year, the Olympia Kiwanis Club will sponsor the Town-wide
Decorating Contest. Dig out the lights and decs and put your home or
business in the holiday spirit. Three prizes will be awarded for the
best decorations.
