Be sure to warm up at the Goldendale Community Gathering held at The Lodge 219 S. Columbus, Goldendale, WA 98620, where attendees can enjoy:
• Award Presentations for parade entries and the best-decorated homes and businesses in Goldendale

• Sip some hot chocolate in memory of Rachael Starr

*Edgar Holbrook, a lifelong resident of Goldendale has owned and operated Bishop Sanitation, Inc. since 1977. To those who know this hard-working dad, grandpa, longtime business owner and community event supporter, the honor of being named Grand Marshal makes great sense. One Brighter Goldendale Christmas Committee member explained, “Because Edgar isn’t one to seek out the spotlight, we wanted to honor his decades of service to the greater Columbia Gorge communities in this public way. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating the spirit of the season and making the 34th annual Candy Cane Lane Parade our best one yet! “
