Chamber Chatter

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to thank the Fort Payne Police Department for their involvement in the planning of the Christmas parade.  The parade will be December 11^th at 6:00 PM.

To participate this year, each entry will be required to complete an application and receive a permit.

The issuance of the permit is to insure the safety of all the parade participants as well as the citizens of Fort Payne.

In order to avoid major traffic congestion, all vehicles in the parade will be provided color permits and a map to enter the designated areas.  No other vehicles will be allowed in the area surrounding the VFW Fairgrounds.

Vehicles will include all antique cars, business vehicles, beauty pageant winners, etc. 

Floats will be judged on Jaycee Drive (behind Williams Avenue School).  Winners will receive cash prizes.

The parade is an excellent way to showcase your business. Stop by the Chamber for more information.

The 10^th annual Spirit of Christmas will be held at Northeast Alabama Community College Lyceum on December 4^th and 5^th at 7:00 PM.

Christina Wise and her volunteers amaze me with the production that tells the birth of Christ.  My grandchildren still talk about the live donkey, sheep, and camels.

This year a moving tribute to the uniformed services of America will be included.  Tickets are available at the office of Susan Barron, 638-4418.
