CD: Starkville Christmas parade right around the corner

The 2009 edition of the Starkville Christmas Parade will feature all of the same floats and fanfare as previous years, but organizers this year also have a new activity in store.

The Greater Starkville Development Partnership is partnering with the Starkville Civic League to present a holiday “Tour of Homes.” All four homes on the tour are in the Browning Creek subdivision, located south of Starkville off Oktoc Road.

A reception and light refreshments will kick off the tour Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at the Oktoc Community Center. Patrons will then go on a self-driving tour, where they will be able to go inside each home during assigned times, said Latasha Hill, GSDP Special Events Coordinator.

Tickets for the Tour of Homes are $20 each and are available for purchase at the GSDP Welcome Center, located at the corner of Main and Lafayette streets downtown.

The theme for the 2009 edition of the Starkville Christmas Parade is “A Classic Country Christmas.” Festivities will begin the morning of Saturday, Dec. 5, at 10 a.m. with several downtown merchants offering specials, sidewalk sales and holiday entertainment.
