Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Nov 15, 2012) —  Plans are set for the annual Holiday Dazzle Parade – 7pm Friday – in downtown Jamestown.

Organizers are hoping it will be even bigger than past parades.

Main Street Ambassador, Charlie Kourajian says, the association has contacted last year’s and former year’s participants to see if they will again participate in the parade, and encourage new participants.

Kourajian says, “People from our area really look forward to this holiday event and enjoy it immensely. In reading over the comment sheets from past years, parade goers want more and louder Holiday music and put on an extra set of lights, so they encourage participants to turn up the volume.”

Those who want to have a float in the parade, and can’t afford the entry fee, there are a few sponsors that don’t have floats to enter and the parties can get together to have a float in the parade.

For an information sheet and entry blank, please call Charlie at 320-3015 or email him at mainstreet@csicable.net”  Click on video to view the 2011 parade for ideas. 

All entries are asked to be at the south end of McElroy Park by 6:15 p.m. Friday, November 23 for the parade lineup.

The parade will begin at 7-p.m.

This year’s judges, Chris Rathjen, Jessica Haak and Alex Looysen will be viewing and judging the floats at 6:30 p.m.

This year the Main Street Downtown Association, parade sponsor, will be awarding cash prizes for the floats, first prize being $500, second $250 and third $100.

He adds, the After-Parade Party will be at the Gladstone Inn & Suites, with the Jamestown Choralaires entertaining with Christmas songs.

First United Methodist Church of Jamestown is once again inviting all Holiday Dazzle
participants and viewers to enjoy free popcorn and hot cocoa in the lower dining
room before, during and after the parade on Friday, November 29.   You’re invited to
come, warm up, and enjoy food and fellowship in this friendly atmosphere.  The First
United Church is located just east of the Alfred Dickey Public Library.
