Engage in Gilmer, organizer for the 2024 Light Up Ellijay parade, would like to say thank you to the parade participants.
Wow, you guys went all out this year, and we were so proud to be your point of contact and organization. We think this was the best parade since 2020. There were more floats this year, and their themes and the love put into them was evident. We are thankful that you are allowing us to rebuild this event following the shutdown of 2020. You are with us through the challenges and always, mostly, with a smile on your faces.
Choosing the winners was really difficult this year.
Announcing the winners of the commercial float and noncommercial float award and their bragging rights to hang a winner’s plaque:
The Commercial Award goes to Gilmer Towing with his Flying Santa and well lit up truck.
The Highland City Church Float was chosen for the Non-commercial Award for their message, construction, lights and enthusiasm.
