This past Saturday was a blast at the Northern Lights Parade in downtown Oscoda! This is the 5th year the Alcona Marching Band has teamed up with the Oscoda Marching Band and led the annual lighted parade through the town! The bands, directed by Karen Lopez (Oscoda) and Emma Hilton (Alcona), performed "Christmas Parade Sequence" arranged by Paul Lavender and Will Rapp. Always a highlight of the season!
