About 60 entries have registered for this year’s version of “Parada de los Cerros” that will step off at 9 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 22. The theme is “Songs for the Season.”
Participants are asked to select a favorite holiday song and apply its lyrics, theme or music to a creative float design and presentation.
Civic/business floats, equestrians, motorized entries, church affiliated groups, sports teams, marching and walking community organizations, non-profits and marching bands are welcome.
The Chamber of Commerce has hosted the annual event, the only Thanksgiving Day parade west of the Mississippi, for 33 years.
