Dewayne Jackson, owner of Jaeger Tire in Warrensburg, announced a holiday parade to be held 6:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1, in Warrensburg.

Jackson is the primary coordinator and is working with local organizations such as Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce, Warrensburg Main Street and Big Brothers Big Sisters to host the event.

“Several community residents have mentioned to me that they would like to see a holiday parade in the ‘Burg,’” said Jackson.

The parade is scheduled to start at parking lot at the corner of South and Holden Streets on the UCM campus. It will parade north on Holden Street, through the downtown area and halt at West Market and Maynard Streets. The presiding county commissioner and mayor of Warrensburg will then conduct the celebratory lighting of the 20 foot Christmas tree located on the courthouse lawn.

“We already have entries and are looking for many more to participate,” said Jackson, when he announced the event at the Noon Rotary Club luncheon.

All entries are required to be illuminated. Parade applications are currently being accepted by calling Dewayne Jackson at 660-747- 5822. The deadline for entry submission is Nov. 27.
