The Christmas Parade is coming up and the Grand Marshal for the parade has been awarded.

The Clinton Chamber of Commerce Board has named Marian Brisard this year's parade Grand Marshal. Brisard retired as the Chamber's Executive Director about a year ago and first-year Executive Director Janice Peterson says this was something the Board wanted to do instead of going out for nominations to the community this year.

On the WHOW Morning Show, celebrating her favorite day, Friday the 13th, Brisard told Regional Radio she was very humbled to have received word of being the Grand Marshal.

Peterson says they are now accepting entries for this year's parade. A change for this is the entry form is now online, so if you cannot come to the Chamber office or don't want to wait for it to be mailed out, check out clintonilchamber.com.

The Christmas Parade comes up on Saturday, Dec. 2 at 2 pm in downtown Clinton.
