The annual Myrtle Creek Winter Festival at Millsite Park will be the destination for the annual Timber Truckers Light Parade Dec. 12.
The parade, which starts in Riddle at around 5 p.m., is filled with festively lit log trucks, fire engines, cars, pickups and dump trucks.
The vehicles will make their way into Myrtle Creek at about 7 p.m. where the community can get a close-up view of the displays, eat free chili, cookies, hot chocolate and coffee, and get warm by the Village Realty fire pit. The Winter Festival opens at 5 p.m.
The Myrtle Creek Winter Festival will also include a live nativity scene by the Tri City Baptist Church in front of the St. Vincent de Paul store. Businesses on Main Street will extend their shopping hours.
Any individual vehicle or organization can enter to win up to $2,600 in prizes in categories that include Log Trucks and Flatbeds; Dump Trucks and Service Trucks; Emergency Vehicles; Personal Vehicles and Pickups; and Personal Vehicles for Groups/Organizations. Entries must have at least one strand of lights on the vehicle.
The parade is pushing for a big show this year. What used to have 60 to 70 entries, the Timber Truckers has been down to around 40 in recent years. “We don't want to see it go away,” said parade coordinator Jeff Johnson of the event.
To enter the Timber Truckers Light Parade, call 874-2231.
