Calling all Floats and Characters for Catch the Glow!

It won’t be long until the lights and festivities of the holiday season are here – along with the Town of Estes Park’s Catch the Glow Parade. Preparation is underway for the 2012 parade, which will travel along Elkhorn Avenue beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 23 — the day after Thanksgiving. The Town of Estes Park’s Events staff are calling for float entries as well as recruiting community members to volunteer with Catch the Glow pre-parade festivities.

Businesses and organizations are encouraged to enter a float in the parade. Applications are available at www.estes.org/events and should be submitted to the Events office by Nov. 14. For more information, please call 970-586-6104.

Volunteers are needed for Catch the Glow festivities taking place around downtown prior to the parade. Volunteer to be a costumed character that strolls along the downtown streets, bring smiles to the faces of kids, and visits sponsoring businesses. Costumes are provided and help is needed from noon until 3:30 p.m. Or, volunteer to be a character on a float during the parade. Those interested should contact Lonnie Erskine at erskinefamily@gmail.com or 970-690-7891.
