We will need volunteers to cut xmas trees, bring them to Halfway Creek Park and help set them up. The trees are located in Trempealeau and will need to be hauled to Holmen. Trees are set over posts and zip tied in place. 

Rotary Lights parade fun. Come walk with the big Holmen Area Rotary Wheel float through downtown La Crosse. Wave at the crowds, be part of the fun. The Parade ends and the fireworks start with the 3 million + lights get turned on.  We will meet in the parade staging area that starts at 6th and main and lines up south of there. Look for the big wheel. Parade starts at 5 pm so plan on getting there by 4:30.  Even if you don't sign up just come on down. Wear warm clothes , comfortable boots and maybe a light-up something to wear on your head. Hope to see you there!

We will be pulling the Rotary Float in the Jinglefest Parade. Help us put a face to the club and walk along. Wear some light up gizmo to help add a festive atmosphere. We will meet where the parade is being staged at Johnson and Main. Look for the big yellow Rotary wheel.
