Norris Christmas Parade set for Saturday night

Norris will kick off the 2021 holiday season with its Christmas parade at 6 p.m. Saturday (Dec. 11).

Floats will be staged at Norris Health & Rehabilitation Center, beginning at 5 p.m.

Those who will be walking in the parade are asked to meet in the bus circle at Norris Middle School, according to the Norris Recreation Commission’s Facebook page.

Also, the Norris Fire Department asks that people plan to attend the chili cook-off at the Norris community building following the parade.

Santa will be available for photos with your family, and there will be door prizes and cookie decorating for kids of all ages, the Fire Department said on its Facebook page.

The Fire Department is also still seeking donations of new, unwrapped toys for the children of Norris.

“Norris Shines” is also underway for the second year.

“Let’s all come together this holiday season to ‘Light Up’ Our Town,” a Recreation Commission poster says, urging people to decorate their property for drive-throughs from Dec. 12-26.
