Christmas Parade Hot Chocolate
Each year the Jaycees want to give back to our community that supports us during the year. One way we are able to do this is by handing out FREE hot chocolate prior to the start of the annual Christmas parade. This is a great way for us to show our appreciation to the community face to face. We hope you will come out and warm up with us.
