Lighted parade enchants hundreds in West Frankfort
Fantasy of Lights parade Tuesday night in West Frankfort
The 20th Annual Fantasy of Lights parade will be Tuesday, Nov. 20, at 6:30 p.m. in Downtown West Frankfort.
The parade begins at St. John’s Catholic Church and School and heads west down Main Street to the railroad tracks. It features lighted floats, carolers and the big guy, Santa Claus.
After the parade, pictures with Santa will be available in the 100 block of East Main Street.
No Christmas decoration work detail needed this weekend in W.F.
The West Frankfort Chamber of Commerce’s elves will not be needed this year, the Chamber has announced.
The annual Saturday morning work detail to hang Christmas decorations in the city’s downtown area has been cancelled because West Frankfort Street Department crews have been doing the work this week.
Volunteer workers had been scheduled to report at 5 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 17, but do not need to do so.
City crews will be able to complete the work before Tuesday’s 19th annual Fantasy of Lights parade, West Frankfort Mayor Tom Jordan said.
