"What do Christmas Trees wear at the pool?"



Answer below

It's the end of July and we are officially closer to Christmas than we are New Year's Day. We won't rush away the rest of summer and the gorgeous fall season, but we want to give you a heads up that Santa is coming and so is the 45th Christmas Card Town Parade!


For those of you that have marched, rolled or danced through downtown to celebrate the holiday season, we encourage you to start dreaming about your themes and decorations for this year's event! If you've never been part of the parade and want to jump in, the possibilities are endless. You can keep it simple and strap a giant bow to the top of your work van or go the extreme and decorate a 40' flat bed to usher in the Christmas spirit. Either way, we'd love to have you join the 8 blocks of fun downtown Elkhorn on December 4th at 1:30pm.


For now enjoy laying by the pool, pulling weeds and grilling at the backyard BBQ aka summer. But in between the handfuls of dandelions and sunscreen, dream a little dream about peppermint sticks, gingerbread and bells that jingle at the 45th Christmas Card Town Parade!
