2011 Harrisburg Christmas Parade

The Harrisburg Area Chamber would like let everyone know how much we appreciate those who participated in the Christmas Parade this year. We had about 62 entries in the parade; an assortment of bicycles, antique autos, horses, HHS ROTC, Santa and much more. We were very pleased with our 11 float entries.
We would like to thank our Parade Character Walker Sponsors: Food Giant, Ritter Communications, Unico Bank, Beatrice Gullia, James and Evelyn Williams, Poinsett Turfgrass Company, Sonic America's Drive-Inn, Greg Spurlock - Farm Bureau, Rice Well Company, Steve Rorex and PC Solutions. Thank you also to all those who wore character costumes and entertained along the parade route and the city police for their help as they lined up to block the traffic and keep us safe.

The Harrisburg School District generously allowed us to use the Center of the Arts to hold the prize drawing again this year and we appreciate very much the use of their beautiful facility. Congratulations to all the winners of the prize drawings.

It takes a lot of preparation to put on a parade and Mark Weston did a great job organizing and scheduling this year’s event. To him, and all those that worked behind the scenes making sure the parade was a success -Thank you!

From all of us at the Harrisburg Area Chamber of Commerce - Merry Christmas!
