Blytheville Christmas parade set

The 61st annual Blytheville Christmas parade is at 6:30 p.m. tonight (Friday).

At Thursday's tree-lighting ceremony Liz Smith, Greater Blytheville Area Chamber of Commerce executive director, said the parade, which has more than 100 entries, is going to be an "amazing" evening.

There will be live music at the judge's stand, located across from the Southern Bancorp parking lot, before the start of the parade and vendors will be selling hot chocolate and hot apple cider.

Smith encourages people to come out with their families and enjoy the parade.
