It’s been a tough year for everyone and that is certainly true in
the Olympia School District. With that in mind the 2020 Minier
Christmas Parade’s theme is Olympia-Spartan Strong. Let’s show how
strong we really are and participate in this annual event! If you
are part of an Oly team, club, school, organization, or community of
the Olympia District, we invite you to join our parade. We’re trying
to practice social distancing by encouraging decorated trucks, cars,
or lawn tractors decorated and followed by a walking unit. For those
who enter as a walking unit that is decorating some type of vehicle,
we will offer $25 seed money for the decorations to the first 10
groups signed up. Prizes are 1st Place - $75, 2nd Place - $50 and
3rd Place - $25. You can get the entry form by going to minier.com
or contact Carolyn Hansen at

The parade will be held Saturday, November 28th at 2 p.m.
Grand Marshall honors go to Carolyn Hansen, Charter President of the
Olympia Kiwanis Club and 16 year member of the Olympia School Board
of Education. Carolyn is well known for the many times and
situations, over the years, where she has selflessly led out in
giving back to community, area, and beyond. She is wife to Gordon
Hansen and mother to Eric Hansen who graduated from Olympia High
School in 2011. Kiwanis is pleased to honor Mrs. Carolyn Hansen.

We are also conducting a coloring contest for Oly students at Oly West,
kindergarten through 5th grade. We will give $10 for best picture for each
grade, $20 for the picture that best depicts the theme – Olympia – Spartan
Strong and $25 for Grand Prize. Have your student check with his or her teacher
for more information.
Kiwanis is also sponsoring our annual House Decorating Contest. Please have your
house decorated and lights on at 5 PM on Sunday, December 6. We will honor the
top four houses with a gift certificate to a Minier business and a sign for your
front lawn. No need to send in a registration, just have your front light or
Christmas lights turned on.
All these activities are sponsored by the Olympia Kiwanis Club. We need you to
help us grow and offer more opportunities to the members of our Olympia
communities. For more information, please go to our Facebook page Olympia
Kiwanis Club of Illinois.
Wear your Blue and White to the parade to show we are Olympia – Spartan Strong!
