STAFF REPORTS

The Rome Christmas Parade is November 30 and the deadline for entries is November 10.

Jerry Rucker with the parade committee is urging bands, civic organizations, churches or anyone else who would like to be in the parade to get those applications in before the deadline.

The entry fee is $100, and the money goes to pay for trophies for the winners in each category.

It also goes to help the DDA purchase Christmas decorations for the downtown area.

The parade returns to Broad Street this year.

The theme is “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.”
