2024 Parade of Lights Winners!

The Parade of Lights winners!

The Parade of Lights occurred in downtown Archbold on Friday, November 29th. It was a cold and windy evening, but over 46 entries were accounted for, and nearly 64 floats made their way through the streets.

From combines wrapped in lights, a nativity scene, and even an appearance from the Grinch, the parade had it all! Santa even took time away from his busy schedule to say hello to everyone in town.

Our judges, Mayor Grime, Karla Ball, and Jayson Selgo, had a tough time choosing their top 3! Based on a 5-star system, the Archbold Fire Department took home 1st place (and of course bragging rights!). Coming in 2nd was Gerald Grain Center Inc. and 3rd place was Sauder Woodworking Company.

Whether you participated with a float or sat and enjoyed, THANK YOU for coming to the Parade of Lights! Get your elves ready and start preparing for next year!!!
