    We came up this weekend for the Christmas Tree lighting and parade, only to find that there was NO PARADE !
    This was our fourth year to visit Mt. View to browse, shop and take in the Christmas festivities.  We love the small town feeling, but were disappointed when there was no Nativity themed parade.  Speaking with a local merchant, we were told it was “all political” making us wonder if there was discord in Mt. View.  Don’t become Eureka Springs or Branson…keep Christ in Christmas……PLEASE.  Judy & Gary from Conway.
