The Greater Hatboro Chamber of Commerce executive directors and Tim Shultz, Hatboro Holiday parade chairman, are pleased to announce that Robert M. John, Esq. will be the grand marshal for the 53rd annual Hatboro Holiday Parade on Sunday, November 24.

"Candy Cane Cavalcade" is this year's parade theme name and the event will kick off at 2 p.m., rain or shine. The parade route begins at York Road and Summit Avenue. The chamber (www.hatborochamber.org) is now accepting parade participant applications.

"I am very honored to be invited to serve as Grand Marshal of this year's Hatboro Holiday Parade. I've been involved with this community event since I was a young boy as a participant. I have served as a parade official, and more recently, produce the parade for television. It is a spectacular and joyful occasion for young and old alike to usher in the holiday season," says John.
