That is right folks, Santa himself will be here in Choctaw on 12/06/2020 at 3:00pm!

The red line is where the parade leads off headed on their journey around the community!

There will not be a tree lighting event this year. The lights and displays that we all love will still be on display for everyone to enjoy! The good news is that Santa has informed us that he is going to take a lap around Choctaw Lake to spread the holiday spirit. The parade will start at the Lodge at 3:00PM on 12/6. The parade will follow as stated on the map above. The flow is red line to the green line. Position yourself on the passenger side of the road to view Santa. He will be waving from the passenger side of the fire truck. Please maintain social distancing while watching the parade pass by.

Santa has asked that we install a mailbox by our lighting display for all the kids to submit their wish list. The CLPOA elves will get this installed by 12/6 per Santa’s request.

Like many events, we plan to get back to normal in 2021.

What’s that!!!? You want one more summer concert…well you are in luck! Fortunately, Dan Blazer was able to reschedule the Locals for this Saturday. Their show on August 1st was canceled due to weather. Below is information about the band. This is the last summer concert of the year. Bring the boats, social distance on the grounds, and enjoy the final show.

The Locals

September 12th (Saturday)

The Locals formed in 2018 for one-night-only as the musical entertainment for an annual fundraiser to support epilepsy and a departed friend. Comprised of Dayton-area musicians — each with their own respective bands and musical projects — the one-off collaboration turned into a few-times-per-year lineup.  You can think of The Locals as an all-star group of musicians.  Led by lead singer Nikki Luttrell and drummer Ben Willis, the band is comprised of Ernie Luttrell on keyboards, Jason Coots and Matt Bourelle on guitars, and Dave Horner on bass. The Locals play a little bit of everything: the Eagles, Prince, Paramore, Fleetwood Mac, Boston, and Tears for Fears, to name a few.    The Locals will knock your socks off!
