Dazzle parade marshal named 
The Holiday Dazzle Light Parade committee has named Quinebaug Valley Special Olympics as this year’s parade Grand Marshal.  The 14th annual parade is set to roll at 5 p.m. Nov. 29 in downtown Putnam.  
Once again this year, the parade committee will present a “litter free parade”.  Before the parade begins, an army of volunteers from High Pointe Church in Thompson will hand out trash bags.  At the conclusion of the parade, volunteers will walk the parade route picking up trash bags from the crowd and depositing the bags into a town of Putnam Public Works truck.   According to parade chairman Gary Osbrey, “The idea of a litter-free parade is working.  People are buying into the concept and the result is a noticeably cleaner town immediately following the parade.  We are grateful for the trash bag donation from The Last Green Valley and the volunteers from High Pointe Church”.
The 14th annual Holiday Dazzle Light Parade will step off at 5 p.m. Nov. 29 at the Grove Street monument and will follow Grove Street merging right onto South Main Street, left on Front Street (through the center of downtown Putnam), right onto Kennedy Drive (at Cargill Falls) and will travel past Rotary Park and Riverfront Commons on Kennedy Drive taking a right onto Providence Street and  will end at the Owen Tarr Sports Complex at the corner of Providence and School streets.  Rain date is Dec. 6. Entry forms are available at WINY Radio, the Putnam Town Hall on online at www.winyradio.com.
