Each year the Tryon Fire Department (TFD) puts on the annual Tryon Christmas Parade. This year’s parade will take place at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 14. It will start from the Methodist Church parking lot and wind less than a mile downtown, ending with the opportunity for all children to visit with Santa.
TFD will do the physical work, but the department asks for financial help. Businesses and individuals alike are invited to contribute. TFD needs to cover costs not only of the Christmas bags that Santa distributes, but also floats and marching bands.
Contributions can be sent to the Tryon Fire Department, Attn: Christmas Parade, 301 N. Trade St., Tryon, N.C. 28782.
Any businesses, churches, civic organizations, clubs or individuals that wish to enter the parade should call 828-859-9566.
