"Christmas Through the Ages" The El Dorado Christmas Parade
Mark your calendars! Santa Claus is coming to town on the Big Red Fire Truck in the El Dorado Christmas Parade. "A Christmas Through the Ages" parade will happen on Thursday December 7th at 7:00 p.m. The El Dorado Union County Chamber of Commerce hosts this event annually and is generously sponsored by Larry's Pizza and Billy Wood Honda. Additional sponsors include: Murphy USA, Canfor Southern Pine, JPS Equipment Rental, Long's Roofing and Sheet Metal Works, LANXESS, PJ's, Glenn Mechanical and Coldwell Banker Dumas and Associates Real Estate.
For last year's event, we had 90 entrants, including bands, floats, antique cars, beauty queens, and horses. The Chamber encourages everyone interested in participating in this year's parade to sign up today. The deadline to enter is November 29th and there are some concerns about a last minute rush.
We encourage you to show your Christmas spirit and sign up as an entrant in the parade. Further, we encourage you to sign up early, so we can adequately plan for the event and place you in the right spot for winning one of our top awards. The Chamber's Christmas parade is run mostly by volunteers. If you would like to help work the parade or would like to place an entry in the Christmas Parade, please call the Chamber of Commerce at 870 863-6113.
