The contest is open to individuals, businesses, organizations, and clubs with a Ball Ground address.

Speaking of Spooktacular, the whole family will love this event, which includes trick-or-treating activities, games, food, and a costume contest. Spooktacular will be held at the Community Center on October 25 from 4:00-8:00pm, with a kid-friendly movie shown immediately following.

After the scarecrows have been put away, it’s time to prepare for one of the largest Christmas parades north of Atlanta. Mark your calendars now. The annual March of the Toys Parade for Toys for Tots occurs December 6, and Santa Claus will again make an appearance. The festivities begin promptly at 7:00pm, but you should arrive early for a unique dining and shopping experience in downtown Ball Ground.

In the past, Santa has brought an array of participants with him, and this year is no different. The City will welcome Star Wars characters, the Atlanta Ghostbusters, the Peachtree Clown Alley, a replica of the Batmobile, and many favorite superheroes and princesses. Also, Men in Black and the Marching Eagles on Main Street will make their first appearance. Other participants include the Creekview High School Marching Grizzlies, colorful floats, tractors, and antique cars.

Please consider bringing an unwrapped toy to deposit in one of the many collection boxes along the parade route or in City Park. And don’t forget your camera — after the parade, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be available for photos in City Park.

For additional information, or if you would like to participate in this year’s parade, visit MarchOfTheToysParade.com. An application must be completed and submitted to participate. The website also includes a downloadable parade route map with additional information about parking. Follow the parade Facebook page for updates, Facebook.com/MarchOfTheToysParade.
