The annual Christmas Parade will be held this Saturday, December 5th from 5:30 til 8:00 in downtown Saline, Michigan
The theme this year is "The Spirit of Christmas Future."
This is one of my favorite events, the whole town shows up and just about every child you know is participating through their Boy or Girl Scout Troops, Dance Alliance, The Saline Marching Band, floats from many of the local churches and day care centers.
I attended my first Christmas Parade when Allyssa who is now 19 was a nursing baby and boy was it snowing. I enjoy running into past clients, friends and Saline Chamber members.
