There will be a “temporary road closure” of Central Avenue on Saturday, December 6, 2008 from approximately noon until 3:00 PM for the 2008 Fillmore Lions Club Christmas Parade. Staging and Check-in for the Parade will be in front of the Memorial Building. The Parade starts at 1:00 PM at the intersection of Second Street and Central Avenue. The “temporary road closure” will be removed as soon as the Parade participants have completed their trek down Central Avenue to Santa Clara Street.

The “temporary road closure” will begin at Third Street and Central Avenue and continue south on Central Avenue to Santa Clara Street. All east and westbound cross traffic on Central Avenue between Third Street and Santa Clara Street will be affected. Barricades will be in place to prevent thru and cross traffic on Central Avenue. With the exception of emergency vehicles, no other vehicles will be permitted to park or travel on Central Avenue while the Parade is in progress.

The 2008 Fillmore Lions Club Christmas Parade is an annual family event and it is still not too late to enter the Parade as a participant. Churches, Community Service Clubs, all youth activities, businesses and just plain folks are encouraged to be in the Parade as a participant. Please make your entry a Christmas Holiday related entry, but have fun getting your theme assembled.

For more information contact Dick Diaz at 524-5315, or 279-3599, or by email at dickdiaz@roadrunner.com. There is no charge to participate in the Parade.
