2007 Fincastle parade participants having fun along the route!

Paige Ware of the Fincastle Christmas Parade committee sends this invite to enter the parade. Even better, we have a link to the entry form. (If you click the link and get a message about "invalid font," don't worry -- that's just tech-talk -- just click it again and keep on. This works differently on different browsers, we've found):

You are cordially invited to participate in the Fincastle Christmas Parade to be held on Saturday, December 6, 2008.
