*PARADE NOTES:
*If you want to be in the parade with your group, you must meet up with that group, and come in with that group.
*We will not hold spots.
*Due to limited space on North Trade Avenue, line up will be as you arrive. There are no line-up numbers.
*Please….No Santa floats. It confuses the children. Santa will be at the end of the parade.
*Horses: Must have diapers. Horses will be held at the Landrum Fire Dept lot beside the depot until the end of the parade. Please park horse trailers at the lot in field beside Farmers Market or in that parking lot area.
*Candy: Please no throwing candy. We’re not being a Scrooge, it’s for SAFETY. Children dart out into the street to retrieve candy as the the parade passes. It is very dangerous because they cannot be seen by drivers. You may walk beside your unit and HAND OUT candy. Thank you for understanding.
*DETOUR MAP is posted above. Please don’t be a Grinch. Leave early or take another route. Thanks in advance.

Airing of the Quilts is a tradition that dates back centuries. Ladies would make quilts out of scraps of material and clothing as a necessity to keep their families warm. In the warmth of spring and summer, they would hang their quilts to air out in the bright sun so they would be fresh when the cold, winter nights approached.
You don’t want to miss out on this stunning display of quilts!
Special guest performance by The Dolcimer Group during the airing.
