December 9 - Miracles Parade on 34th Street is next weekend. Thousands of people will be lining 34th Street on December 9 as the lighted floats, cheering kids, and sights and sounds of Christmas pass by! This parade that began last year was fantastic and a real, honest-to-goodness, holiday parade with real floats, real marching bands, and Santa Claus (coming straight from a visit to a BIG DEPARTMENT store in Dallas.) It's a thrill. Don't miss it. Put it on your calendar now and round up your boy and girl scouts, sports teams, Sunday School classes, friends and family and get a good "close up" glimpse at this holiday cheer! We encourage everyone to bring a TOY FOR TOTS gift so we can FILL THE TRAILER full of donations this year and make the event even more meaningful for your family! Click here for more details!
