WELCOME!

We hope you enjoyed the 2008 Carolinas’ Thanksgiving Day Parade presented by Belk. The parade featured over 90 units, including 10 marching bands, 23 floats and many new and exciting participants.

Our 10 AM start time proved to be a success, as the streets were crowded with spectators enjoying the bright, crisp holiday weather.

The parade was broadcast on WBTV Channel 3 at 10 AM and again at 4 PM and will be featured on the WBTV website (www.wbtv.com) through December.

Happy Holidays!
