The Parade Will Form at the East Muskingum Middle School Parking Lot Off State Route 83

On November 30th at 6:30 p.m. the fire siren will again sound to begin the Annual New Concord Christmas Parade. In case of inclement weather, the parade will be December 7th.

The parade will form at the East Muskingum Middle School parking lot off State Route 83 North, horse entries will line up at the Village Water Department, and those walking will form in The Community Bank parking lot. The arrival of Santa, provided by the Board of Trade will conclude the parade. Please remember that we provide the ONLY Santa for the parade.

Following the parade, Santa will be available to visit with children and give them a treat at the New Concord Fire Department. As in years past, we are again asking area businesses to remain open this evening, offer Christmas specials, and have a parade entry.

The annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony will precede the parade beginning at 6:00 p.m. just west of the John McIntire Library.

·  Have entries at East Muskingum Middle School parking lot by 5:30 p.m. The New Concord Fire Department will be lining up entries and directing traffic at the school. The New Concord Police Department will handle traffic control on State Route 83.

·  Bring “Riders” with parade entries, or have “Riders” dropped off after 5:30 p.m.

·  Drop off “Riders”, and exit, do not park in lots. Please consolidate all “Riders” to minimize vehicles.

·  Communicate these helpful hints to everyone on your entry, and know which “troop” or “pack” or “club” your child is with when your drop off to avoid confusion.

·  Walking entries should meet at The Community Bank parking lot by 6:00 p.m.

·  Horse entries should meet at the Village Water Department by 6:00 p.m.

·  Please pick-up walkers at the New Concord Methodist Church following the parade.

·  Please be sure that ALL ENTRIES have a VISIBLE SIGN stating the group’s name for parade watchers and announcers.

We appreciate the past participation and are looking forward to working with you again.
