Hall was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1980 and has been re-elected to each succeeding Congress. Congressman Hall was selected as Ranking Member of the Committee on Science and Technology for the 110th Congress.
FC Dallas players, as well as 'Duece' - the Frisco RoughRiders mascot - and representatives from the Dallas Stars will be joining this family favorite tradition dating back decades.
Homecoming royalty from all four high schools, along with the varsity football teams from each school participate in this tradition, too. Even Santa Claus will be here, arriving in a holiday train.
Downtown Main Street will be closed beginning at 9 a.m. Parking is available at several city owned lots. Parade goers who park throughout downtown neighborhoods are encouraged to be mindful of residents'
driveways and mailboxes.
Portable restroom facilities will be available at the corner of 4th and Main Street.
