Every year in downtown Warren, there is a big Christmas parade filled with lights, sparkles, and holiday cheer. The community comes together to make this happen with all of the floats, vehicles, marchers and even animals that are in the parade. This year, the parade took place on December tenth at six o’clock in the evening. The Squire wanted to give readers a look at what the parade was like this year, so we asked sophomore Emily Grosch some questions about the parade. But we also wanted to give readers a little bit of an inside look as to what it is like to be a performer in the parade, so we also asked Extreme Athletix athlete and Eisenhower sophomore, Cali Chapman, some questions about the parade.
In the small town of Russell, good quality businesses are difficult to come by. Not many businesses are left on the main road, and the ones that do attempt to establish themselves in Russell do not last long. However, with the exit of Wendy’s Café on the corner of State Street and North Main, a new restaurant has entered called Ida Mae’s.
The season near and at the end of each year is one of the most celebrated times around the entire world. People of all cultures, ethnicities, and religions come together to enjoy all sorts of festivals and traditions, each with special customs and plenty of entertaining activities.
