Jena Christmas Parade

December 9, 2011 - 6 P.M.

The Jena Merchants Association will be hosting the 2011 Annual Jena Christmas Parade!!!

The theme for this year’s parade is “Christmas Through the Eyes of a Child”. What are some of your favorite childhood memories of Christmas? What kind of tree did you have? Did you go out and cut it or was your tree store-bought; was your tree green or was it silver! Did you use popcorn and cranberries for decorations? What about that rotating color wheel that changed the color of the tree!

The JMA invites everyone to share a childhood Christmas memory by participating in this year’s parade. This event can be a great opportunity for the older generation to share memories of their childhood Christmases! Make it a family affair!

All churches, civic organizations, businesses, schools - don’t miss this opportunity to share in a great community tradition!

The Christmas Parade Packet may be picked up at Southern Heritage Bank in Jena as well as at LaSalle Printing Company.
