Christmas

As the season of giving approaches, the Sulphur Springs Lions are preparing for a spectacular Christmas Light Parade.

The 12th annual Sulphur Springs Lions Club Lighted Christmas Parade presented by Carriage House Manor will be held in downtown Sulphur Springs at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6. As the sky darkens, the festively illuminated parade entries will bring Christmas cheer to the viewers along the parade route.

This year, due to the construction on Connally Street, the parade route will begin at Buford Park and head east on Houston Street to Church Street. The parade will then head south on Church Street, around the west side of the downtown square, and end at Taps Funeral Home.

The Lions Club would like to give a special thanks to Carriage House Manor for, once again, being the title sponsor of the parade. Other parade sponsors include Alliance Bank, City National Bank, Farmers Electric Cooperative, Legacy Ag Credit, Brian Toliver Ford, Farm County, Jay Hodge Chevrolet, Nortex Tractor and Saputo.

Entry forms for the Lighted Christmas Parade can be picked up at any of sponsor locations or the Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce. The deadline to enter the parade is Tuesday, Dec. 3.

The Sulphur Springs Lions Club meets at noon every Tuesday at Pizza Inn, 1320 Mockingbird Lane. Lions clubs are a group of men and women who identify and work to fulfill needs within the community.
