The Holiday Pops with the Lubbock Symphony was wonderful! For some of, this might be your first Fun Club Postcard. This will help you know what is going on this week and next. We hope you find it useful like our other families! Welcome aboard!

December 9 - Miracles Parade on 34th is this Saturday! Thousands of people will be lining 34th Street on this Saturday, December 9 as the lighted floats, cheering kids, and sights and sounds of Christmas pass by! Parade "steps off" from 34th and Toldedo at 6:30, will hit Broadcast Square at 7:30, and is planned to be over at University and 34th no later than 9:30. Walking groups will end at Boston. This is 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.
