HOLLYWOOD LEGEND, SHIRLEY JONES, HEADLINES GRANADA HILLS CHAMBER HOLIDAY PARADE

Oscar-winning actress, TV star and activist, Shirley Jones, is this year's Grand Marshall at the 27th annual Granada Hills Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Holiday Parade, taking place on Sunday, December 4th , rain or shine, from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, on Chatsworth Street from Petit Park to Zelzah Avenue. For more information, please call the Chamber at 818.368.3235.

The theme of this year's parade is "Winter Wonderland - A Salute to the Youth of our communities." The parade, which is the largest holiday event of its kind in the San Fernando Valley, will feature theme-related costumes, theme decorations, music and automobiles, along with community-sponsored floats, youth groups, marching bands and equestrians.

It will be a scene reminiscent of the climax of one of Ms. Jones most memorable films, The Music Man – a “typical” All-American town, brass bands, marching kids and cheering crowds.

TV audiences will remember Shirley Jones from The Partridge Family, while movie-goers will fondly recall her performances in Oklahoma and Carousel, as well as her stunning Oscar turn in Elmer Gantry.

Currently Ms. Jones is actively promoting a memorial park for the victims of 9-11. The park, on land purchased by Shirley and her husband, Marty Ingels, in Big Bear, has a 600 pound girder from the World Trade Center, flags and the names of the victims.

Donations can be made through www.shirleyjones.com to Fawn Park, a non-profit organization.
