Even individuals, family groups, co-workers and of course businesses can get in on the action by entering the Downtown St. Johns Annual Santa Parade of Lights.
Everyone is welcome to enter a float or marching group in the parade on Friday, December 2, 2011 for a chance on collecting the $500 in Best Decorated prize winnings. Two separate prizes of $250 each will be awarded; one to the best decorated float and one to the best decorated walking unit. So come on, enter your group and try for a some extra Christmas cash! This provides a great opportunity for fund raising for your group or organization.
Parade entrants will meet in Clinton County Courthouse parking lot at 5:00 pm to line up, and the parade starts at 5:45pm traveling from the Courthouse on State Street north down Clinton Avenue to the Train Depot Lawn at 107 E. Railroad Street.
Parade goers will gather on the Depot Lawn as St. Johns City Major Dana Beaman officially welcomes Santa to the community and presents him with a Key to our Mint Festival City. Santa and the Mayor will then assist our own “Little Miss Mint” as she lights the St. Johns community Christmas Tree on the Depot Lawn to open the holiday season.
