Christmas Parade - Dec. 8th

Christmas Parade - Dec. 8th in West Plains.  We will meet at the George White walking park at 4:00 pm.  The parade starts at 5.  Bring your dogs.  We would like to show off all the different breeds and all americans that belong to the club.  We will not be doing a float this year.  I am bringing my 1 ton flat bed truck for those who want to ride.  The parade moves at a pretty good pace - fast walk.  The parade route is a little over 1 mile long.  Because the truck is hard to get on and off of when moving, you will probably want to decide if you are going to walk or ride.  I will bring a 2 step foot ladder to help folks get on and off.  I would recommend blankets and warm clothes if you ride.  If somebody has some straw or hay bales we could put a few in the center of the bed for folks to sit on and some could sit with their legs hanging off the side of the bed.  I don't remember the exact title of the theme but it has something to do with the celebration of lights.  So if you have some way of lighting yourself or dog up, that would be nice.

Directions to the park:  If coming from the north - take business 63 south- Turn on 6th St (just a little north of Hardee's, Mo Farm Buruea Insurance is on the corner).  Go straight at the first intersection, cross the bridge, park will be on the left.  If coming from the south or downtown take business 63 north - Turn right on Minnesota Ave, turn right at 6th St or W. Thomburg (according to google maps 6th St. changes name at this intersection).  The park will be on the left.  If you are coming from the north I would recommend getting to the park a little early.  I'm not sure what time they will shut off traffic on Business 63.
