The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer, but that doesn’t mean we’re stuck in the dark. Embrace winter and its shorter days by joining the Eau Claire Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Division’s Third Annual Chippewa Valley Parade of Lights!
Registration is now open for the Third Annual Chippewa Valley Parade of Lights. Residents and commercial businesses in the Eau Claire and Altoona School Districts are invited to decorate the exteriors of their home or business for the chance to win “bragging rights” as one of the best decorated spots in the Chippewa Valley!
Categories to be judged include: Best Use of Lights, Most Entertaining, Most Creative Theme, and Judges Choice. Winners will be chosen for both residential and commercial entries. A map showing all the participating homes and businesses will be available so everyone may tour the Eau Claire area and see this dazzling Parade of Lights!
The cost to enter is $10 for residential and $15 for commercial businesses. Proceeds from the contest will benefit Youth Recreation Scholarships that help reduce the cost of Recreation programs and pool passes for families experiencing low- income.
