Miracles Christmas Parade


To: Prospective Miracles Christmas Parade Wrangler

Thank you for your interest in our association. We are a nonprofit organization of
volunteers dedicated to staging the Miracles Christmas Parade to the delight of thousands
of parade viewers and for the benefit of various Lubbock area charities.

We welcome all candidates for membership who are willing and able to diligently give
their time to promoting and producing the south plains biggest Christmas Parade.

As a new member you should anticipate spending about 20-30 hours per year on
committee work, mostly during the last few weeks of each year.

Before applying, please understand that we expect you will make this a long-term
commitment and that, if accepted as a member, you will be required to:

Purchase a Black Hat, Jacket, and accessories

Participate in several assignments throughout the year.
Work on Parade Day.

In addition, it is hoped you will:

Participate in the work of the other committees who may need additional
personnel from time to time.
Support the Miracles Christmas Parade activities.


Unfortunately, we cannot represent that applying assures membership, as there are more
applicants than openings each year.

We will have no more than 30 active Wranglers in this years parade.
If you would like more information about the Wranglers please call Jeff Reese at 806-
806.787.8605 or Scott Scarbourgh at 806.549.8335.
