Organizations Invited to Participate in Parade

The Fourth Annual Kirksville Kiwanis Christmas Parade will take place at 5 p.m. Dec. 5. Starting downtown, the route will run south through campus on Franklin Street. The theme for the parade is “Light Up The Town!” In lieu of an entry fee for the parade, the Kiwanis Club of Kirksville is asking parade participants to donate new children’s mittens, gloves, hats, coats and/or scarves. These items will then be donated to deserving children in the community. Participants can enter a float in the parade, or can walk the route and hand out candy to children. For more information, contact Felix Adler, Kiwanis Club of Kirksville president and parade committee co-chairman, at kirksvillekiwanis@gmail.com  or 586.707.2890.
