Bluffton Blaze parade invites Ada units to participate

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, October 15, 2015

The Bluffton Blaze of Lights parade, planned for Saturday, Nov. 28, is inviting area groups to join the parade.

This year’s Blaze, sponsored by the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce takes place on Saturday, Nov. 28, in downtown Bluffton.

This year’s Blaze theme is “A Christmas from the Past.”

Earlier this month over 40 units were already registered for the parade, according to Junior Weihrauch, parade director.

Last year, for the first time ever, the parade topped 100 units. The Blaze planners hope to continue that parade size this year, making it one of the largest small-town parades in northwestern Ohio. Last year’s parade lasted one hour.
