Spanish Fort's Annual Spirit of Christmas Parade

Event Details

The City of Spanish Fort is pleased to announce that planning is currently underway for its Annual "Spirit of Christmas-�Parade. Beginning at 9:00 a.m., the parade will roll through the Eastern Shore Centre. Applications are now being accepted for floats, marching bands, choirs, organizations, dancing and walking groups, etc. Applications are available at Spanish Fort City Hall, Eastern Shore Centre's Management Office and Westminster Village, or you may visit http://www.cityofspanishfort.com/ to print an application. A registration fee of $25.00 is required for each participating organization and all proceeds will be donated to local charities. Awards will be given for the Most Creative float or group, Best of Show and the Mayor's Choice float or group. As 2008 has been proclaimed Westminster Village Year in The City of Spanish Fort, recognizing the 25th Anniversary of Westminster Village, the City has chosen the two Charter Residents of Westminster Village, Ms. Janice Britton and Ms. Irene Ostberg, to act as Grand Marshals of the Parade. In keeping with the City of Spanish Fort's motto, "A City of Spirit-�, we have selected two area organizations, The Haven and The Prodisee Pantry, to assist them in their charitable efforts in our community this Christmas season. Representatives of both organizations will be present at the Parade to receive donations, either monetary or of tangible goods (canned goods, non-perishable food items, etc). Donations will be accepted throughout the day at designated drop-offs located near the fountain at the Eastern Shore Centre. We are honored to recognize these deserving organizations, and with your help, we hope to share the "Spirit of Christmas-� with those in need this holiday season.
