Comments I recall a meeting at G.C. Carlan's service station in Spencer with GC, Dr. Fred Chandler, Hyatt Grissom and myself planning the Spencer parade. We had the parade on one of the coldest days ever. We had a Spencer Jaycee float, the Spencer Hi band, the Mayor & town council in a convertible, the Spencer Fire Truck carying Santa, & a clown unit. As the parade wound it's way through town, band members dropped out one by one and before the scheduled end, we had a skeleton parade. This was the first parade in Spencer that later became the Holiday Caravan. The second year, we had 76 units as we borrowed floats, etc. from other towns and cities.Henry Bernhardt of the Salisbury-Rowan Merchants Association met with the Spencer Jaycees and we made an agreement to work together -- as long as the parade starts in Spencer. That has held true now for 50 years.

Comments The Holiday Caravan Parade is an excellent way for local clubs, organizations, churches, businesses,community leaders to present themselves to residents to citizens of Rowan & surrounding counties. The parade also brings Miss USA state queens and their families to Salisburt Rowan area. Also bands from local high schools and colleges across the state. The presentation of each years Holiday Caravan brings many people into Salisbury & Spencer to witness a very professional production by an all volunteer staff. It does a great job representing the local area and the businesses that support this event each year, financially. To understand the impact the Holiday Caravan Parade has just look at the faces of the kids and senior citizens along the parade route. Make a difference, get involved with this years production, thru manpower or contacts you may have with potential sponcer or donor the assist the vollunteer staff to continue to get quality entries to take part in the parade.
