Molino Christmas Parade Celebrates The Season
December 14, 2008
The 6th Annual Molino Christmas Parade was held Saturday afternoon, with a host of local floats and personal Santa Claus visits in the ballpark.
The parade ended the Don Sutton Park, where Alabama Wing House Barbecue was available while children visited with Santa Claus.
All funds raised from parade entry fees, the bake sale and the barbecue meals will benefit needy children in the Molino community, according to Sonja Luker, one of the parade organizers. The guidance counselor at Molino Park Elementary School will assist in choosing Molino area children in need of Christmas gifts.
Donations such as toys and non-perishable foods can be dropped off at Fran’s Diner.

I really enjoyed the parade coming down Crabtree Church Road. I would like to see a marching band from one of our local schools. And more floats. I did not see Santa Claus on the Firetruck this year. Thank you for having the parade route on Crabtree Church Road.
I would like to thank the Molino Ballpark Board of directors and their spouses for helping make this parade a great success. I love you guys!!! Also I would like to thank Willam from Northescambia.com for covering our parade!!! Its great to see a community come together for such a good cause! I hope its even bigger next year! Happy Holidays to everyone!

We had a great time at the Parade and after at the ballpark. We got to visit with Santa and had some great BBQ. Alabama Wing house does great Q. We are already looking forward to next year.
This is a great opportunity for the community to come out and support the children. It is also fun for all ages. Everyone should get involved.
