2014 Mocksville Christmas Parade and Bed Race Dates and Times

Mocksville Hometown Christmas Parade Date and Time

Mocksville's Main Street will see lots of holiday action in mid-November as the third annual Once Upon a Bed Race and the Hometown Christmas Parade take center stage. Here are the 2014 dates and times:

Event	2014 Date	Start Time
3rd Annual Twas the Night Before Bed Races	Friday, November 21	6:00 p.m.
Hometown Christmas Parade	Saturday, November 22	2:00 p.m.

If you have never seen the bed race, it is quite a unique event. Pairs of teams rush a person in a bed down Main Street and back to the starting line. Those with the fastest times face off against one another. The team themes are often quite quirky. I particularly enjoy seeing the Christmas lights along Main Street. They even light up the huge four oak trees at the square – folks can see them miles away.

The parade attracts quite a crowd as the town gathers to see a nice mix of entries. Make sure to bring a bag as some people toss out candy. Our weather has turned cooler than normal. Yea, I know my relatives in Wyoming are laughing right now, but to me anything under 60 degrees warrants a jacket. Many Mocksville shops will offer holiday hours – shopping at local merchants can make a difference in the lives of folks within the community.
