Christmas Parade on Dec 5th

police department traffic changes for the Christmas parade will go like this:

1. block off Monroe Street behind the church before 6:00 PM, so you cannot come off Madison Avenue and circle around to any of the parking lots that way.

2. will not block off any crossing streets of Dexter Avenue until 6:00 PM, but after that you will not be able with a car to cross Dexter Avenue until the parade is over.

3. Christmas parade goers will be in the area early and will fill the parking lots around the church before 6:00 PM, except for the back church parking lot because Calvin and I will no let them in there.

4. I plan to be at the church before 5:15 PM and anyone who wants to take the dance lesson should be in the area looking for a parking place not later than shortly after 5:30 PM.

5. The Christmas parade usually last just shortly over an hour and then one by one the police will start opening up the crossing streets of Dexter Avenue and patrons will be able to park and get into 301 Club before the dance begins.

I guess it comes down to either come about an hour early than usual or wait until around 7:30 PM before you come. Hope this helps! ~ Ken
