Manitou Christmas Parade

‘Twas two weeks before Christmas and all through the land,
excitement grew quickly for the parade we have planned!

For Christmas Begins on December Eleven,
The streets will be lit, the city full of fun!

Manitou Avenue will be all aglow,
as happy attendees jaunt to and fro!

Bring out your family and all of your friends
Bring out your hat and fuzzy mittens!

The Parade begins at the sixth strike of the clock,
From Ruxton to El Paso is where our marchers will walk.

Children can gather for the rare and special site,
Of the man all in red and a beard big and white!

Come early and enjoy the fine sights of the city,
Radiant, lively, the lights will be pretty!

Stay for dinner with family and your friends,
Finish last minute shopping to tie those loose ends!

Rejoice Seasons Greetings! and celebrate with us this year,
As Christmas Begins in Manitou with a parade full of Cheer!
