The annual Parade of Lights is tonight (Saturday, Nov 20th) at 6:30. If your an out-of-towner or new to the area, come check it out. I’ll be giving away a free lift ticket to Greek Peak (see the last paragraph). The parade has over 60 floats this year, all of them covered in Christmas lights. The route begins at Bridge St & Riverside Drive, comes across the Bridge Street Bridge and down Market St (ending at Wall St). There are also marching bands and other groups.
If you show up early – and you should to find parking and a good view – you can also participate in the Tree Lighting Ceremony that beings at 4:00 (ending at 6). While you’re downtown, enter the Window of Gifts Giveaway. Local businesses have set up a display of gifts in the window at 13 E. Market St and you could win everything you see! To enter, just visit a local participating business and fill out an entry form. The contest ends December 17 – drawing December 22nd on Magic-FM at 8:30AM).
Can’t make it out, or can’t deal with the cold and crowds? Well your in luck Scrooge, the parade will be airing live on WYDC-Big Fox. Want to be on TV? Stand across the street from the Big Fox TV station. I’ll be working Master Control for the live broadcast at Big Fox, and if I see someone on my monitor holding a homemade “UrbanCorning.com” sign, I’ll come out and give you a buy-one-get-one free lift ticket to Greek Peak (Make it good; I’ve only got one to give out). See you there!
