This is the 34th year that WGNS Radio has coordinated the parade. We especially thank our working sponsors: ATMOS Energy creates the Santa Claus float, the Stones River Amateur Radio Club is in charge of communications during line-up of the entries as well as throughout the parade, the Murfreesboro Noon Exchange Club lines-up the entries, Synergy Bank hands out the awards and has two bank representatives carrying a banner before each recipient announcing the category in which they won. And L & K Tropy created the awards.
Again, the Murfreesboro Christmas Parade is 2:00 o'clock this coming Sunday afternoon, December 10, 2017. Tell your friends, and join your neighbors at this fun holiday tradition.
