We would like to thank all of the Parade Participants who didn’t let a little rain affect their Holiday Spirit! Thank you for sharing with our Community, your magical holiday lights, love and season’s joy!
For most of us this Parade and Tree Lighting Celebration have become a family holiday tradition.
This is the event we do the day after Thanksgiving, and it wouldn’t happen if it were not for all of the Community efforts working together on this special day!
We had approximately 4,500 spectators attend the parade and 500 people enjoying the Tree lighting Celebration!
Some of the people/businesses who brought magic to the community were Luciano Tree Service, NW Natural, Discover Rentals, Home Depot, Bishop Sanitation, Safeway, Starbucks, Riverenza, SK Stone Photography, TDMS Choir and many others who were behind the scenes serving. Thank you!
Another Big thank you to our Christmas Stars: Santa and Mrs. Claus, the elves, Princess Anna and Princess Elsa and our Cherry Man!
Memories were made and we are thankful to be a part of this healthy, thriving, parade and festival lovin’ community! Seasons best...
