Second Annual Esperanza Estates

Christmas Golf Cart Parade....Thursday, Dec 23

Yep, we're having a Christmas parade! The Second Annual Esperanza Estates Christmas Golf Cart Parade will be Thursday, December 23. This year we will have a sunset parade....Paraders gather at Flag Park at 4:45 - 5 pm.

And...don't miss this.....after the parade we'll gather at EE Flag Park for a bonfire!

This year, we are suggesting Paraders decorate their golf carts (or alternative vehicles) with lights and other fun holiday decorations. But, that's only if you want to.....it's ok to just hop in the golf cart and join in the parading!

We'd love to have Parade Watchers involved too. It would be fun if Watchers decorate something with lights...how about luminaries in your driveway, if you have them...or light up your chairs, or yourselves? Or, just hang out in your front yard for a while and cheer the Paraders on.

Our photographer will be out of town, so is anyone willing to volunteer to take some pictures?

Everyone is welcome! The parade is always a blast.....wandering through Esperanza Estates spreading Christmas cheer and goodwill to all!

Mark your calendars and come join in the fun! You can call the Christmas Parade Elf, Donna Shay, 815-243-3402, with questions.
