The Greene County Chamber of Commerce is making plans for its 2017 Downtown Waynesburg Christmas Parade to be held at 2 p.m. Dec. 2 and is now accepting applications for schools, churches and civic organizations that want to participate.

All units must be pre-registered by Nov. 18 and pay a $10 entry fee in order to participate. Late entries will be accepted through Nov. 22 at a fee of $20, but no application will be accepted after that date. A limited number of scholarships are available for groups that have financial need.

Miss Rain Day 2017 Eden Rogers and the chamber’s 2017 Distinguished Service Award winners, Chuck Baily and Waynesburg University, will lead the parade down High Street as its grand marshals.

The lineup for the route will begin at noon and will encompass Wayne and College streets. The parade will begin at the intersection of High and Richhill streets and travel east on High Street to the intersection of Cumberland and High streets, where most of the units turn and then disband.

There is no central theme for the parade, but all entries are asked to portray Christmas spirit. Float judging will take place prior to the start of the parade and trophies will be awarded to the top three floats. All floats and other entries are reminded that no live Santa is permitted on any unit in the parade, as he is the guest of honor at the conclusion of the parade.

Anyone wishing to participate in the parade that did not receive an application is asked to download the parade application by visiting the Chamber website at www.greenechamber.org.
