Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce WELCOME SANTA PARADE SUNDAY
November 29, 2009 AT 2:00 PM On Sunday, November 29, 2009, the chamber is sponsoring the 17th Annual WELCOME SANTA PARADE. The parade will start at 2:00 from the Locust St. and 4th St. corner at the Saints Peter & Paul church. The route will go east to Oak St., turning south to Main St., then turn left (east) on Main traveling to Grant St. It will turn north onto Grant and go to 4th St., turning left (west). When it comes to Locust St. it will turn north there and end at the swimming pool parking lot and the park. Many activities will entertain visitors in the park. Santa will be in his Christmas tent to hear the kids wishes. Horse and wagon rides will give you a tour of the Christmas displays throughout the park. The Calliope will play Christmas music for all to hear, and the Ottawa-Glandorf show choir will be there to entertain us. As long as they last there will be O-G Rotary hotdogs, Lion's Club chili, Cub Scout Pack 224 hot chocolate, and beverages from Fortman Ins., Pepsi Americas & Culligan Water. Awards for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place floats will be announced at the Caboose in the Park. We ask that the public does not park along the parade route for safety reasons and viewing of the parade. We hope to see you all along the route with the kids for this annual tradition. Jeff Loehrke will announce the parade entrees in front of the Courthouse. Be sure to come out to the Ottawa Memorial Park throughout the Christmas season to see the displays. The park is beautifully lit by many of our businesses and organizations.
