One week is left to enter 2007 Christmas parade There's one week left to register floats in Thomasville's annual Christmas Parade that will take place Dec. 1. "Each year the parade gets bigger and better," said Edmon McKinley chairman of the parade. McKinley and the Southwest Alabama Chamber of Commerce invite all area businesses to participate in the parade. To make the parade theme more consistent and improve safety, some changes have been made for this year's parade. "We're instituting a parade permit system this year," McKinley said. "All entrants will be required to pick up a permit and they will have to have their permit to participate." Another change this year is that parade participants that wish to have music playing must play Christmas-themed music this year. A third change requires all riders in vehicles to sit completely inside the vehicle throughout the parade route. "We want the parade to be a safe and fun event for everyone," McKinley said. The theme for this year's parade is "Christmas Books." "Gina Wilson at the Thomasville Library has been a huge help this year in getting a selection of Christmas books in the library for those who would like to consult them for ideas and inspiration," he said. The Chamber will have the only official Santa Claus this year, riding on the fire truck.
The cost to participate is $15 and should be paid at the Southwest Alabama Chamber of Commerce office no later than Nov. 30.
