Holiday at The Beach Parade and Toy Drive Scheduled for Dec. 6th in Flagler Beach

PALM COAST, Fla. - Nov. 16, 2014 - PRLog -- The Rotary Club of Flagler Beach is accepting applications for the Holiday at the Beach Parade, Saturday, December 6th.

The parade will start immediately after the much-anticipated “touchdown” of the annual parachuting Santa at 1:00 pm. After touchdown, Santa will jump on the back of the Flagler Beach Fire Department Fire truck as he welcomes in the Holiday Season in Flagler County.

Parade attendees are encouraged to bring a toy for children in need to be distributed through Project Share. Project Share has been the major service project of the Rotary Club of Flagler Beach for 13 years.  Christmas toys, clothes and bicycles are provided to local children through this project.  “Tom Gibbs has once again donated the use of several of their trucks to collect toys during the parade,” said Roseanne Stocker, Project Share’s facilitator. The toys will be collected by Santa’s elves along the parade route and loaded into the trucks.

There will be a performance area at the intersection of A1A and SR100 and groups and marching bands are invited to perform.  The parade route runs from A1A North at 6th Street to A1A South at 6th Street.  Parade applications can be downloaded from www.FlaglerBeachRotary.org, www.cityofflaglerbeach.com and www.flaglermuseum.org.

Immediately following the parade, trophies for Best of Parade, 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place for Best Marching Unit, Best Holiday Theme, and Judge’s Choice will be given out at Veteran’s Park. The Flagler Beach Fire Department will also host a children’s party with Santa at the Fire Department located at 320 S. Flagler Avenue in Flagler Beach after the parade.

On Friday evening, the City of Flagler Beach will have ‘Music in the Park’ with Christmas music and the lighting of the Christmas tree in Veteran’s Memorial Park. There will be children’s activities and vendors from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. The Flagler Beach Historical Museum will be open late Friday with activities and will be open Saturday from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
