Civil War Game Bumps Christmas Light Parade in Madras, Oregon


We Oregonians get a little bit fired up during Civil War weekend when the Oregon Ducks play the OSU Beavers. So fired up in fact, that the Jefferson County/Madras Chamber of Commerce decided to move Madras, Oregon's annual Christmas Lights Parade and Tree Lighting to another date!

The event time has been changed to 6 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 11, and the parade's theme this year is "Christmas of the Century."

After the parade, kids are invited to go to U.S. Bank for a visit and photos with Santa. Indian frybread and hot cocoa will be available for purchase at the Christmas Lights Parade event.
