Mondovi prepping to mark 5th annual ‘Small Town Christmas’

 

The “Small Town Christmas” electric light parade will hit the streets of Mondovi for the fifth-straight year this Saturday, Dec. 6, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Sponsored by the Mondovi Women’s Business Network, the event has become a traditional holiday staple in recent seasons as parade-goers line Eau Claire Street to take in the moving holiday light show featuring entries by area businesses, organizations, clubs, and families.

New this year, a tree-lighting ceremony will take place in the open lot next to Mondovi Hardware on South Eau Claire St. at 6 p.m. A 20-foot Christmas tree, donated by Wayne and Terri Curtis, will be lit up to boost holiday spirits prior to the parade. Mayor Treig Pronschinske will have the honor of throwing the switch.

Also that day, Santa Claus is slated to make an appearance at the Roger Marten Community Center for pictures from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. during “Santa Saturday,” an annual event sponsored by the Mondovi Businesses Association. Cookies and juice will also be served, and goodie bags will be given out by the Mondovi Area Gobblers.

This year’s holiday light parade will showcase a new look for downtown Mondovi. The city recently received new Christmas decorations courtesy of MWBN fundraising efforts including new snowflake lights and other holiday-themed lights that were refurbished to give them new life.

Last year’s parade drew 40 floats to the line-up. All are welcome to create a float to enter into the parade for the chance to win first, second and third place prizes awarded by the MWBN.

The parade will begin at the Mondovi Fire Station and proceed north on Eau Claire St. toward Mirror Lake Park.

Entries will still be accepted the day of the parade. Those interested in signing up should contact Brenda Stanford at Shear Trends at (715) 926-4222 or at (715) 577-9247.
