The rundown for today's Kerrville Lighted Christmas Parade

IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE

After much waiting, the 20th Kerrville Lighted Christmas Parade is here. Kicking off at 6 p.m., the parade will make its way from G Street, along Water Street, hang a right on Earl Garrett before ending at the Kerr County Courthouse, where a magnificent KPUB-powered Christmas Tree will be lighted.

WHO IS LEADING THIS THING?

The Grand Marshall is none other than the great Clifton Fifer — a man for the ages. Fifer, of course, is seemingly everywhere in Kerrville, especially when it comes to the Doyle Community. A former school teacher, Fifer is a historian, singer, toymaker, washtub bass player and all-around community leader. So, we expect some big applause when Fifer goes riding by.

IF I WANT TO SKIP THE CROWDS?

Yup, you can watch it here with Jam Radio's Justin McClure and KPUB's Allison Bueche on the call: https://www.kerrville.live/

SOME PARADE FAST FACTS

• Santa Claus will be traveling with an escort from the Kerrville Fire Department. Quick pitch: Fire Chief Eric Maloney will be on The Lead Live on Monday to discuss how not to ruin your holiday by setting your turkey on fire.
• There's an entry called the Texas Two Ton Horses — really big horses large. Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF95kUafEHw
• The longest entry — allegedly — is from KPUB at 60-feet. Maybe they're going to use a power pole of some kind.
• There are three tow truck companies in the parade, two banks and "Bliss Beauty Bar."
