In late-October, the Clinton Chamber of Commerce announced the cancellation of their annual Christmas parade.

Knowing how much a lot of people look forward to that event, Clinton business owner Lance Schmid decided he would organize an event for the community. He indicates the event is taking somewhat becoming a grassroots effort on Facebook.

Sunday, December 6 at 3:30 pm is the date and time for the parade. Schmid says Dave Jackson is allowing the event to use his store's parking lot on Center Street.

Schmid hopes his organization of this event will be an example for anyone in the community that sees something they don't like to quote - "be the change you want to see".

Anyone interested in being a part of the parade can find the event's Facebook page by searching 'Christmas 2020'. Schmid says this is a free parade with no entry fees for any floats or displays.
