Gentry Christmas parade is Saturday

GENTRY -- Don't forget that this Saturday is Gentry's Christmas parade. It's scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. on Gentry's Main Street. "A Country Christmas" is the theme.

Lineup is at 5:30 p.m. at the Nelson Feed Store (north of Main Street at the railroad tracks). No preregistration or fees are required to enter and participate in the parade.

There will be $100 in Gentry bucks awarded to the entries with the best lighting, the best sound and the best theme. The best overall entry (a combination of the three individual categories above) will be awarded $200 in Gentry bucks.

Children will be able to visit with Santa Claus at the Chamber of Commerce building, 212 East Main Street, from 3 to 6 p.m. Parents are urged to bring their cameras for photos with Santa in front of the fireplace. Goodies will be provided for the children. Hot chocolate and coffee will be on hand for all, as well.
