Bossier Chamber Seeks Participants for 31st Annual Christmas Parade

The Bossier Chamber of Commerce and the City of Bossier are gearing up for this year’s Christmas Parade.  In celebration of Bossier’s 100th birthday, the theme for the parade is “Christmas Through The Decades.”  Participants are encouraged to dress up in their favorite decade like the groovy 70’s or the poodle skirt 50’s.

The parade is Saturday, December 8th at the CenturyTel Center.  It kicks off at 11am and ends with the official arrival of Santa on the CenturyTel Solutions float.

The CenturyTel Center is located at 2000 CenturyTel Center Drive in Bossier City. The parade will circle the perimeter of the surrounding streets by CenturyTel. The Family Fun Area, sponsored by Huckaby Insurance, will be located in the parking lot of the CenturyTel Center and will be open from 10am until 11:30am. It will have lots of games and prizes for the kids and fabulous food.

Sponsors so far include:  Bossier Rotary, Bossier Press Tribune, Barksdale Federal Credit Union, Summit Executive Realty, KTBS/KPXJ/CW 21, WESLA Federal Credit Union, Capital One, Citizens National Bank and CenturyTel Solutions.

Applications and rules are available now at www.bossierchamber.com.  Sponsorships for floats and other activities are also available.  For more information, please contact Melissa Parkerson at the Bossier Chamber of Commerce at (318) 746-0252 or melissa@bossierchamber.com.
