The Holidays are a time for families and friends to gather. On Saturday, Dec. 5 at 5:30 p.m. The Greater Tehachapi Chamber of Commerce is planning the ninth annual Christmas parade “100 Years of Christmas Past”.

The parade route will be down F Street beginning at Mulberry Street. The Tehachapi Valley Recreation and Parks District will be hosting the tree lighting ceremony in front of the Veterans Hall, and the city will be decorating downtown with lights and banners. This is an evening to bundle up the kids and come celebrate the Holiday Season with the entire community.

This event is planned so the community can gather together for visiting old friends, making new friends, drinking hot chocolate, watching the parade, sharing a meal, enjoying the lights, singing carols, strolling from business to business doing your Christmas Shopping.

Last year's parade was such a success that you don't want to miss out on this year's event. Parade applications are available at the Chamber Office, 209 E. Tehachapi Blvd. or at www.tehachapi.com. Deadline for applications is Monday, Nov. 23.

In order to make the parade successful, it takes volunteers. What better way to get into the Christmas spirit than to be a part of the parade committee. Contact the Chamber office at 822-4180 for more information. All volunteers are welcome.
