CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The city of Clearlake is making plans for a merry Christmas.
The annual Clearlake Christmas Parade takes place beginning at 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5, and will follow a route from Redbud Park to Austin Park on Lakeshore Drive.
This year's theme is "Winter Wonderland," and participants of all ages are being sought.
Trophies will be awarded to the top three entries.
Participants are prohibited from throwing candy and other treats into the crowd; however, walkers may hand items to spectators. Participants must also adhere to other safety precautions as well.
The parade will culminate with the annual tree lighting ceremony at Austin Park, where Santa and Mrs. Claus will be waiting to take pictures with all the children.
Parents are advised to bring their own cameras as a photographer will not be provided.
Hot chocolate and cookies will be provided by the Lakeshore Lions and Lioness.
Entry forms are available at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive; Enterprise Towing/Big O Tire 15195 Lakeshore Drive; and Bob's Vacuum, 4165 Mullen Avenue, all in Clearlake. There is no cost to participate.
Additionally, a volunteer is being sought to play the part of Santa in this year's event.
For more information or to volunteer, contact the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce at 707-994-3600.
