The Downtown Hays Development Corporation (DHDC) would like to thank everyone
who participated and attended the 15th Annual FrostFest Illuminated Parade. What a perfect night for our parade of lights and with over 30 entries, what a sight.

The parade, sponsored by Eagle Communications, Nex-Tech Wireless and Gift and Party Kollections, took place Sunday, December 6, on The Bricks in Downtown Hays.

This year’s parade theme was TreeTop Traditions and parade entries were judged on use of theme, lighting and creativity. This was the sixth year for the Nex-Tech Wireless People’s Choice award, which was voted on by parade goers via text message. Over 450 votes were received.
