Cookeville – The Cookeville-Putnam County Christmas Parade, a long-standing local tradition, returns this year. The parade will be live on Saturday, December 10 starting at 6 p.m. on WCTE PBS, YouTube TV, WCTE PBS App and Facebook with hosts Amy New, president and CEO of the Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce, and Avery Hutchins, WCTE PBS’s President & CEO.
This year’s parade theme is, “A Cookeville Country Christmas.” And this year’s grand marshal will be Rich Froning, a Cookeville native and owner of CrossFit Mayhem and four-time “Fittest Man on Earth.” The parade route begins at the corner of 6th Street and Washington Avenue and continues to the square at Broad Street where WCTE PBS’s production crew and on-air talent will be set up and on to the Cookeville Depot Museum.
“The Cookeville-Putnam County Christmas Parade is one of the community’s most beloved traditions. It will be great to once again see Cookeville residents and local families enjoying this annual festive extravaganza,” said Brent Clark, Director of Content & Digital Media.
