The Christmas season kicks off during the first week in December with several area Christmas parades, and local Lodges will be participating. Brothers in Rosebud and Lott are putting together a float that will be used in several parades. In order of date:
On Tuesday, Dec. 1 at 5:30 p.m. Carolina Lodge #330 in Lott will be participating in their city's parade with a float. All local brothers and family members are invited to come and ride along. Also the Lodge will be selling hot chocolate and coffee underneath its new awning on the main street in Lott.
On Thursday, Dec. 3 at 5:30 p.m. Rosebud Lodge #745 will also have a float in their city's Christmas Parade. Santa will be riding along! (There is a rumor that he bears an uncanny resemblance to Bro. Charlie Groseclose.)
On Saturday, Dec. 5 at 9:30 a.m. Thorndale Lodge #978 will be having a BBQ sandwich and wraparound fundraiser during the Thorndale Christmas Parade. Anyone who’d like to help out, please contact Trey Felton at tfelton@ercot.com, or 512-638-5958. The Lodge is also selling raffle tickets and the winner will be drawn out during the parade. In addition the Lodge is sponsoring the Shriners in the parade, and will host a luncheon for them afterwards at the Lodge.
Also on Saturday Dec. 5 at 5:00 p.m. San Andres Lodge #170 in Cameron will have a float in their city's Christmas parade.
