We will do our best with what Mother Nature delivers so plan on warm weather, cold weather, or who knows what kind of weather!

If you want to be in the parade there is no pre-registration required -- just show up by the library at 5:15 -- anything that pushes snow is welcome!! Be there with your plow, snowblower, shovel, tractor, St. Bernard, or whatever you have.

All are invited to participate. The only criteria is that you must push snow. Feel free to use your imagination!
