The deadline to register for the Bolenz Jewelry Holiday Parade is approaching fast. The parade begins at 5:30 p.m. on Nov.28, starting at the Alpena County annex building parking lot at the corner of Chisholm Street and 9th Avenue.

The parade will travel down Chisholm, turn left onto 2nd Avenue, right onto Water Street, and will end in the parking lot behind city hall.

Registration forms are available at the Alpena Area Chamber of Commerce office office or at www.alpenachamber.com.

Completed forms must be turned in by 5 p.m. on Monday. Late registrations will not be accepted and entries without registration will not be allowed in the parade.

Entries should reflect the Christmas/Holiday idea, but from there let your imagination take over. Entries will be judged on originality, overall appearance, and lighting effort extended. Holiday music is highly encouraged.

Winners will be announced via social media that evening and in the press on Nov.30.

Entries will compete for trophies and cash prizes in both categories, Commercial and Non-Commercial (1st =$200; 2nd = $150; 3rd = $100). For questions contact the Chamber at 989-354-4181.
