Who doesn’t love a good parade?
Well, it’s that time of year, registration for SMJC participation in Gatlinburg’s award-winning 49th Annual Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade is amongst us. Registration is now open for Club Members who would like to participate. Registration is limited to one Jeep per person, so everyone will have a chance to participate. The cost to enter the parade is $25 per vehicle, this helps offset insurance fees that must be in place to cover the group as a whole. By registering, you are only guaranteed a spot once you receive an email that your order is completed. We have limited space and are on a first-come first-serve basis. ALL SALES ARE FINAL, refunds will only be put in place IF THE CITY OF GATLINBURG cancels the parade.
