Hatboro Holiday Parade Needs a New Name

 The 53rd annual Hatboro holiday parade needs a new "theme" name and The Greater Hatboro Chamber of Commerce is holding a "Name the Hatboro Holiday Parade" Contest.

The contest is open to the public, and the winner will receive a Movie Gift Basket featuring Regal Cinema Movie Tickets and a Regal Gift Card for snacks. In addition to the gift basket, the winner will have the honor of riding in the parade with the Grand Marshall.

The executive directors of the Greater Hatboro Chamber, as well as Tim Schultz, parade chairman, will choose the winning name. Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman will announce the winner and parade name at Hatboro's National Night Out on Friday, August 9.
