The Ione Christmas Parade was a HUGE success this year! With nearly as many people in the parade as were watching it, a fantastic time was had by all! We were able to award 3 grants during the parade; $400 to the Argonaut Mustangs, $300 to the Fiddler's Group, and $1500 to the Ione Picnic Association. By the way - in case you want to start getting ready now, the theme for  Ione's 2012 Homecoming is "There's no place like Home(coming)...", so get your ruby slippers ready!

2011 Christmas Parade photos can be viewed online here.
