Description

The theme for this year’s parade is “Toys, Trains & Candy Canes.” The popular LC Valley tradition will again be produced and presented by Nelly Broadcasting, LLC and Big Country News Connection, LLC. Parade announcers will again be stationed along 6th Street near Schurmans True Value Hardware and the Clarkston Post Office. Parade participants and spectators can expect the same format and presentation as in prior years. “We are honored to continue this decades-long tradition,” said Nelly Broadcasting Owner Jim Nelly. “It is a huge undertaking each year that we could not do without the support of the sponsors and volunteers.” The Asotin Lions Club Christmas Star will be lit for the season during this year’s parade. The switch will be thrown to light the Christmas Star as the Asotin Lions Club entry in the parade arrives at the announcer’s station near Schurmans True Value Hardware. Weather permitting, the Christmas Star will add yet another amazing lighted display to the event. Registration for parade entries is now open.
