Molino Christmas Parade This Saturday
December 1, 2009
The 7th Annual Molino Christmas Parade will be held this Saturday afternoon at 1:00 with a special guest from the North Pole.
The parade will begin again this year on Crabtree Church Road at Sunshine Hill Road and end 1.8 miles away at the Molino Ballpark.
After the parade, for all the good little boys and girls, Santa Claus himself will be on hand at the ballpark for a visit and Christmas gift wish lists. A meal including a hot Alabama Wing House barbecue sandwich, chips and a drink for $5 will be available at the Molino Ballpark after the parade. Bake sale goods will also be available
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.
If you or your organization would like to be in the parade, you can pre-register at Fran’s Diner, or register the day of the parade. Fees are $15 for a float or vehicle and $5 for each motorcycle, golf cart or horse. Four-wheelers and go-carts will not be allowed. First, second and third place prizes will be awarded for best float and best horse. Parade participants must line up by noon.
