The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce says the annual Coca-Cola Days parade, a popular finale for Coca-Cola Days festivities, is on track and accepting entries for a 4 p.m. start on Saturday, Sept. 22nd.  Formerly for ages 12 and under only, the parade is now open to all wanting to participate. Entries from area clubs, businesses, and individuals are accepted, although only the children’s Coca-Cola themed costume contest for 12 and under will be judged and awarded AtlantiCash prizes.

Incorporating the theme of Mixing up Happiness for 20 years is the only requirement. Parade entry forms will be available at 6th and Chestnut in City Park the day of the parade for late entries. The parade is sponsored in part by the Iowa Chapter of Coca-Cola Collectors Club.

Other Coca-Cola Days activities include the Show, Swap & Sell and Collectors Showcase from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Herring Building located at 2nd & Poplar Streets. Merchandise including a Coca-Cola Days ornament will be for purchase with the 2012 shirts.
