Get ready for an old fashioned Christmas

Are you ready for a Christmas parade?  The Chamber of of Commerce, Convention and Visitors Bureau, KHBR radio station and the Optimist Club of Hillsboro, Texas are!  This past weekend they kicked off the advertising encouraging folks to participate in the parade that will take place on December 9.  Entries are now being accepted for the "Old Fashion' Christmas" parade.

What is exciting about this announcement to me is that as well as providing a fun family activity, the groups are asking people to donate to two causes so that the spirit of Christmas can live on.  First is the Optimist Club Christmas for Kids program that asks for toy donations and the second is the Interfaith Ministries canned food donation request.  Yes, the season of giving is here.  Cheers!
