In appreciation for all the hard work from them, the healthcare workers at EAMC-Lanier Hospital in Valley are being honored as the grand marshals in this year's Valleywide Christmas Parade.

Entries for the parade are still being taken; please contact Valley Parks & Recreation Director Laurie Blount at (334) 756-5281 for more details. $35 to enter, but it drops to $30 with the donation of five canned goods, which will be evenly distributed to the Christian Service Center, the Interfaith Food Closet, and the West Point Food Closet to help feed the needy during the holidays.

Sheriff Sid Lockhart and local mayors Steve Tramell of West Point, Kyle McCoy of Lanett and Leonard Riley of Valley will be riding up near the front of the parade. A panel of judges will pick winning floats in the business, community, and school divisions. The Valley High Band will be in the parade.

The parade route: will exit the parking lot between the shopping center and Bluffton Funeral Services and head North along West 4th Avenue past the post office and the home office of Batson-Cook and turn right on West 10th Street at Point University, where the route will go one block before taking another right in front of the West Point office of Capital City Bank. From there, it's a straight shot through downtown West Point, past the lnaett Mill site, Kroger, CVS, and across the Overhead Bridge toward Valley. The route will cross the I-85 bridge into Valley and will keep going along Highway 29 past Bradshaw-Chambers County Library until it disbands in the parkin glot outside Valley Walmart.
