The Holiday Parade elves have run into a bit of a dilemma this morning and could use the assistance of a plow truck. Small job for a plow truck but a huge job for a group of aging elves.

DM us if you could be of assistance. It takes a village.

We often hear, "we don't have the time to make a float".
We get it, but there are many ways to be a part of the parade that doesn't involve making a float.
For example, this grinch on a motorcycle. The kids would love to see this in the Exeter Holiday Parade. There's still time to get creative and be a part of this long-standing tradition.

Thank you Doug, Renae, and Braeden for all of your contributions! Santa has the best ride on the seacoast, thanks to you!

For Doug and Renae Dutile, building Exeter’s Santa float for the Holiday Parade is their way to give back — and they "have fun doing it."

Thank you to the brave souls who came out to our Fun-Raising Event at Otto . The Grinch joined us for a few yours this afternoon, but the snow was too much for him tonight. The Grinch and our other inflatables will see you Thursday night at Town House Common Park beginning at 4:00pm.

Have you ever wanted to be a part of the holiday decorating action? We could use a few extra volunteers tomorrow as we take down the icicle lights on Water Street. This job is a lot if standing around and waiting as the bucket truck positions itself correctly.Dress warm, meet us outside Sea Dog and prepare to look at Exeter from a different view. - Beth
