The annual Ringgold Down Home Christmas event will be held on Friday, December 7th. The parade begins at 6:00 PM and travels down Nashville Street and ends at the Ringgold Depot. Line-up will begin at 5:00 PM on Robin Road.

We are meeting up at Ingles on Alabama Highway first and then we will cruise together to the lineup point.

Since the parade falls on the first Friday, it will take the place of our cruise-in. After the parade, do we all wanna meet up and go eat somewhere? There's a lot more restaurants open in Ringgold now. Any suggestions? Off the top of my head, we have Cracker Barrel, Los Reyes, Portofino's, Hardee's, McDonald's, Wendy's, KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Waffle House, and Guthrie's.

Also, we are meeting up at Ingles in Ringgold at 5:00 PM so we can cruise to the meeting point and line up together. Ingles is located at the corner of Alabama Highway and Nashville St.

I know you had said you were going to dress up like Santa the last time you had a buggy... Just so you know, they have rules against "live" Santas. They want the one on the firetruck to be the one and only.

Don't take Randy's costume. He is only allowed to ride with me if he dressed up as an Elf

I just turned in our parade application, we're good to go.

One change this year though is the lineup point. Instead of going behind Ringgold High School, we're lining up on Robin Road behind Wallgreen's. That's actually going to be easier to get to for us coming from Ingles cause it's right across the street. He told me the high school expanded and took all the parking space so there isn't room there anymore to line up.

That's where we lined up last year.  The line up was two or three wide from Walgreens back past the end of the road.  When we were going through downtown there was a spot where the tornado took out the trees and you could see back to where we had lined up . . . there were still cars/floats waiting in line that hadn't started to move.  This has turned into a HUGE parade.

Gott'a get Homer running!  See y'all there!
