Santa Claus, lighted Christmas parade set for Floydada Dec. 16

FLOYDADA—The Floydada Chamber of Commerce has announced that this year’s Santa on the Square will be Thursday, Dec. 16 at Nutthouse Designs in downtown Floydada. Santa Claus will arrive at 5:15 p.m. to start welcoming all the children and will stay until 6:30 p.m., according to chamber manager Kortney deBock. The Chamber invites members of the community to bring the kids and a camera.

There will be crafts for the kids, shopping and a beautiful Christmas card picture worthy backdrop to capture that special moment. Vendors are welcome to set up down California Street at no charge. Please call or text (806) 983-3434 to reserve your spot. There will also be a pulled pork sandwich meal for sale.

All proceeds will benefit the Floydada Animal Shelter. Santa will then join the city’s first ever Lighted Christmas Parade, hosted by the Floyd County Sheriff’s Department and starting at 6:30 p.m. at the courthouse square. DeBock welcomed families to “Come on down and enjoy a fun evening with the family in downtown Floydada.”
