Ste. Rose will be holding its first-ever Christmas Festival day this Saturday, highlighted by their first-ever Christmas Parade of Lights.
According to Ste. Rose Municipality Recreation Director Marie Sorlie, there is still some time to enter a float.
"The Dr. Gendreau Home community group is hosting the parade and there is still time. We are not going to say no to anyone, but we would like to have our ducks in a row - or in this case our floats in a row - for the parade before Saturday."
You can still register a float for the parade by calling Rachelle at 204-447-4389.
But Sorlie encourages you to do so before Wednesday morning at the latest so that they can have an idea as to how many floats will be participating.
"We do not have a whole lot of floats signed up, but we do have about 6-8 floats signed up. So some floats are better than no floats, and this is our first Christmas Parade of Lights so I think that starting up small works okay. As people are watching it and as years go on, I think others can fit here."
The parade will begin at 5 pm and follow the traditional Hoof and Holler Days parade route of leaving from the Community Centre and making its way down Maillard Street to Central Avenue (Ste. Rose's main street), before going down Gendreau Street.
Other events that day include a Christmas Craft Sale, a tree lighting ceremony, and opportunities to meet Santa and Mrs Claus, and the Grinch.
