Major Parade Sponsor, Heidenberg Properties, Offers Holiday Wishes

By Keith Paul | Published December 7, 2018

As we prepare for the 49th Annual Christmas Parade, to be held this Sunday, December 9th, we’d like to take a moment to that one of our “Shining Star” sponsors – Heidenberg Properties. You probably know them better as the South Port Shopping Center. In addition to being a major financial sponsor of our parade, they also generously allow us to use their parking lot the day of the parade to stage all of the marchers and floats. Having this support makes organizing this complex event much easier and for that we are very grateful!
