2019 De Queen/Sevier County Chamber of Commerce’s
“Christmas Around the World” Parade Winners
The Judges have spoken and the winners for this year’s parade have been chosen and are listed below. For the record, our Judges from Little River County wanted everyone to know that it was VERY close in several categories! Prize Checks will be sent as follows; First place- $100, Second place-$75, and Third place- $50.
We would like to thank the community for another successful parade! We had more entries this year than ever! Many thanks are in order because no one pulls off an event like this without major help and it takes a load of volunteers to make this possible which means that everyone working is working for free but it is all a labor of love! The Chamber would like to thank Sevier County Judge, Greg Ray, for the use of the courthouse lawn and all the work it took to get the Courthouse lit up so beautifully to kick off the Christmas season. Thank you to the City of De Queen Mayor and City Police Officers and Fire Fighters for helping close streets and direct traffic. Thank you to Loren Hinton for the wonderful job emceeing and streaming live so anyone who wanted to watch could. Thank you to our vendors for the great turnout and all media outlets for coverage of the parade! Finally, thank you to ALL the volunteers from our community that gave up their Saturday afternoon and night from friends of board members to other community board volunteers, and the UA Cossatot Student Ambassadors.
