A word of thanks...

The Annual Butler Christmas Parade brought in the holiday season with smiling faces and loads of fun for the community.

The Butler Chamber of Commerce would like to thank those involved that helped make this yearly event so successful.

Thank you to the City of Butler and the city crew that helped with the set up, The Butler Police and Fire Departments. Thank you to the Butler Chamber of Commerce Christmas Committee for months of prior planning and organizing the annual Christmas Parade.

The Butler Christmas Parade was made possible by Larry and Chris Cumpton and family, the Don Pippin family, and Alan Mundey.

The Butler Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the Immanuel Baptist Church and their live nativity scene and for helping all of us remember the true reason for the season.

Thank you to the Butler Ministerial Alliance for the beautiful church service and to the Dance Craze dancers of Adrian for the holiday performance.

Without the participants involved in the parade, their time decorating floats and braving the cold and of course those waiting and watching with anticipation for the parade to arrive on the square.

Thank you to all involved. The Butler Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber Committee wishes you and your family a very Happy Holiday season.
