Tickets for the Christmas Home Tour will go on sale soon. We are excited to again be doing this event and know that many of you band together and come with your sisters, mothers, friends, and family. This year’s theme is Oh What Fun!, and we hope that you will truly enjoy the festive atmosphere of the homes. Many of the homes have young children, and we hope you can see the beauty of Christmas through the eyes of the families on our tour, regardless of the size of the family.

Tickets will again be $15 each prior to the tour and then go up to $18 the day of the tour. We’ll keep you posted about where you can purchase tickets and hope to see you soon!

2018 Cycle Parade

by Leave a Comment

New for 2018, we’ve partnered with the DeSoto Chamber of Commerce to bring you a Cycle Parade during the Fall Festival on September 22, 2018. Kids of all ages are invited to decorate their non-motorized vehicles with a fall theme, and meet at the farmers’ market to register for the event.

The registration form can be accessed here.

Timeline:

  • 8-9:30 AM – The Jefferson County Health Department will be fitting kids for FREE bike helmets. Helmets available fit most kids from ages 2-14, depending on the size of the child. Fittings take some time, so please come early to avoid the rush.
  • 10 AM – Registration for the parade begins!
  • 10:20 AM – There will be a short safety clinic, so everyone gets tips about cycle safety and is safe during the parade.
  • 10:40 AM – The parade begins. Participants will walk through the market to Main Street. The parade route will go from the market south on Main Street to Clement. UPDATE: For safety reasons, we will turn around at the south end of the route and ride back to the market. Judging will be at the beginning of the parade. The participant with the Best Fall Bling will win a prize. The first 100 participants to register will receive a button.

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for this event: Kidz Biz Pediatrics, The Lowry Law Firm, Hopson Lumber Co., and DeSoto Supercenter.
