Parade plans come into sharper focus
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
With a little over a week
before the cut-off date, the
Keizer Holiday Lights Parade
is ahead of where its predeces-
sor was at this time last year.
“Right now, we have
more than 30 entries and
there were only 28 in the pa-
rade last year,” said Danielle
Bethell, executive director of
the Keizer Chamber of Com-
merce, which announced it
would take on the parade as
an annual event in September.
Bethell gave the Keizer
City Council an update on
planning efforts at its meeting
Monday, Nov. 7.
Those hoping to enter a
fl oat into the parade have un-
til Wednesday, Nov. 23, to do
so. Prices for entry into the
parade are the same as those
for the Iris Festival parade: $35
for non-profi ts, civic organi-
zations, military organizations
and per car for auto clubs;
$100 for a commercial entry
from Chamber members and
political groups/candidates;
and $200 for non-member
commercial entries. Entries

ships are available for $500.
In addition to the parade it-
must be received at the Keizer
Chamber offi ce, 6150 Ulali
Drive N.E. The parade will
begin at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec.
10.

spon-
self, Bethell and members of
the Chamber are enlisting lo-
cal businesses to add to the
festivities.
“Members and students
in McNary’s Future Business

Leaders of America (FBLA)
scoured River Road hand-
ing out fl iers and the bulk of
those businesses asked how
they could get involved,”
Bethell said.
A handful of businesses are
planning to stay open later
while others are hosting hot
cocoa stations along the route.
“We are also partnering
with the Salem Food Truck
Association to have food
trucks set up along the route,”
she said.
Care is being taken to
fi nd food trucks that would
not compete with nearby
Keizer businesses, she added.
Churches that traditionally
hand out cocoa and treats on
the evening of the parade are
also working with Chamber
offi cials to spread out more
along the parade route. In
years past, most of the activi-
ties have centered around the
intersection of River Road
North and Chemawa Road
Northeast.
“We want to have as many
people as possible involved,
but we also want it to be very
organized,” Bethell said.

AUTO REPAIR
We service both old and new
vehicles, and we provide
excellent and detailed
checkups to ensure that
your car is safe and
up to our standards.
Rob Robertson, Owner
Businesses, especially small, owner-operated
ones, are not banks and generally can not afford
to carry account balances for long periods of
time. Commerce works best when customers
pay their bills. Sometimes, after trying to collect
debts, businesses must turn to professionals to
help collect money owed to them.
That’s when they can turn to Cascade
Collections, Inc. Since March 1970 Cascade
Collections, Inc. has represented businesses in
the collection of past due accounts including
resolution of disputes and payment negotiations.
Owner Rob Robertson and his professional staff
gather information, follow up on investigations
and, when necessary, use legal means to ensure
repayment.
“We offer our clients help in establishing a
billing and collection procedure time schedule
to help increase the best rate of return for them,”
says Robertson.
