Start Planning your Standstill Lighted Parade Entries!
This event is similar to a traditional moving lighted parade, but with a unique twist! The Standstill Lighted Parade gives the community the opportunity to enjoy your entries up close and for you to interact with the spectators. Your entry can be a traditional float on wheels if you wish, or it can be a display that you set up on the spot. You can hand out goodies, swag, giveaways, etc. Be creative–bring your holiday spirit and the more lights, the better! All businesses, organizations and individuals are invited to participate. There is no entry fee.
People’s Choice winner receives $200 in Ol’ Mill Bucks!
