In honor of the 60th anniversary of the Robins Regional Christmas Parade, we’re turning back the clock to the year of our first parade – 1957. In 1957, the United States was the world’s strongest military power and its economy was booming. Classic cars, planes, and crooners dot the pages of this history defining the era. The theme for the 2017 Robins Regional Christmas Parade is “Come Fly with Me”. Celebrating the best of the era that marked our beginnings is our most-fitting grand marshal for this year’s parade, the Museum of Aviation. “Come Fly with Me” is a classic written in ’57 and made famous the following year by Frank Sinatra as the title track of his then latest album. “Come Fly with Me” is still one of the most recognizable tunes Sinatra ever sang. The all-too-familiar tune was featured prominently in the 1963 feature film Come Fly with Me sung by Frankie Avalon as well as another dozen movies and TV-series. Parade participants are encouraged to incorporate popular tunes of the era, themed décor and attire with classic, late 50s-early 60s elements and a nod to our military in celebration of this year’s event. The Chamber will be taking orders through noon, October 27th for commemorative Warner Robins t-shirts. Youth and adult sizes are available. Order your t-shirts today!
