Christmas Parade
 
Does anyone have the date of the Christmas Parade. We are having company and I sure would like them to see the parade. Thanks.

As usual, I'm confused. Are there TWO parades? :shrug:
I know about the parade at the polo grounds, but is there another parade on December 6th? If so, where should we go to see it?

Thanks for any information,
The other Judy

when is this parade?
 
I know the Christmas parade is on the Polo Field. I think it is on the 11th, that is a Saturday. I just don't know the time.... Also, since we have never been and will be taking a car just to watch (too far by cart) , does anyone have any pointers? Thank you.

That's probably a 20 minute cart ride....where is your spirit of adventure?

6th? 11th? 13th? Does anyone know when the Christmas Parade is? :confused:

p.s., I couldn't get this link to work, even copying and pasting it into my browser. Was anyone else able to open it?

What's up? Has a Grinch stolen Christma s:confused:

Ok, I did find out the parade is on the 11th at 10 am. I would drive the cart from Hadley but there are 5 of us and only one two seater cart. Bummer! I have seen it done but I just can't do it. Any other hints? Time to arrive, where to park, what to bring? Thanks all....

Dear confused(s):
we,too, were wondering the same, and the secret's out!

Here's what they sent us this AM:
Larry,

The parade is December 11th at the Polo Fields…Gates open at 10am and we will start pre-parade entertainment at 10:30am along the parade route (like last year). The parade time is 1pm, so we should be out of there by 2:30pm the latest. Please send me your itinerary of what you will be doing before and during the parade so I can add it to our main list. If you have any questions please let me know. You can call me at 352-753-1716.
Thanks Larry!
