Christmas Parade Hits Ingersoll Tomorrow

The parade will start at 11:00 a.m. at the corner of Wilson Street and Mutual Street.

INGERSOLL - The 28th annual Ingersoll Rotary Christmas Parade returns this weekend.

It will get underway at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow and the theme is Santa's Workshop this year.

Ted Comiskey, the Past President of the Rotary Club, says they have about 70 submissions this year and nine of them are music related.

"The Ingersoll Pipe Band, The Tomato Soup Band, the London Firefighters Marching Band, and the University of Western Ontario Marching Band! There is so much music being involved with it and those are just the ones walking through it."

The parade will start at the corner of Wilson Street and Mutual Street, before it proceeds onto Mutual Street, turns right on St. Andrew's Street, left on Thames Street, left on Canterbury Street, right on Wellington Street and ending at Harrisfield Public School.

The parade should take a little over an hour.

Comiskey says it has been a holiday tradition for quite some time now, adding the Rotary Club took it over in 1997.

"They have done a great job with it, built it up and made it a lot more larger and a lot more fun. Everyone is active with it, all of the schools and all of the businesses, so it's just a fun time!"

Ted Comiskey stopped by the Heart FM studio to chat with Dan and Marcie on Thursday November 13th. You can listen to the full interview below:
