Why wasnt this event kept downtown. What a shame. Our whole family enjoyed being able to visit the shops downtown before the parade. My kids were really looking forward to this. Again, what a shame.

THe Orfodville Lighted parade is still on! And directly following it is a toy for tots benifit at the American Legion Hall, bring two toys and eat! There is even a Winter Carnival at Orfordville Elementry School before the parade, starting at 11 I belive.

If they would have made it a 'Christmas Parade", they would have received more entries. I suppose they were trying to be politically correct.
