Holiday parade entries sought

The Thermopolis-Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce is continuing toward possibly having a parade during the holiday season. Chamber Executive Director Meri Ann Rush said a survey was put out, and from those results it was determined the community does want the parade, though the number or float entries is lacking.

Rush has to have 15 entries by Nov. 8 for the parade to happen. She explained this deadline allows time to obtain insurance and pull permits for street closures. The parade itself is currently scheduled for Friday, Dec. 13.

Applications for parade entries can be picked up at the chamber office. Rush said if organizations would like to do a float but doesn’t have the money or time, they can contact the chamber at 864-3192.

Rush noted there are several businesses in town that have stated they’d like to help put floats together.
