Christmas Parade | Steinbicker Family Dentistry • Mebane

The local Christmas parade in Mebane is Alamance County’s only nighttime parade. Our Mebane dentists and dental team enjoy participating in this event as part of giving back to our community. The Steinbicker Family Dentistry team usually participates in the Christmas parade each year.

In 2016 Dr. Eric Steinbicker transformed a 1980 Chevrolet school bus into the Polar Express train as seen in the movie and book titled The Polar Express. He was inspired to build the float because of what it represented. In July of 2016, oncologists diagnosed Dr. Steinbicker with cancer.

He underwent almost two years of chemotherapy, radiation, and stem cell therapy. During treatment, he built the parade float as an inspiration for all the prayers that anyone had, including him – and to BELIEVE…believe in our creator and one another.

Polar Express | Steinbicker Family Dentistry

The theme of the Polar Express train is “believe” – belief in Christ, our Father, and the Holy Spirit. We ask spectators to bring a jingle bell with them to ring as the Polar Express goes by to show their faith in Christ. The sounds represent any prayers people in our community need answering.

Polar Express | our dental team believes!

People who don’t have bells can pick them up at Steinbicker Family Dentistry the week of the show. Tickets are not necessary as this Christmas event is free.

Thousands of us can pray together for one another’s needs through the ringing of the bells. The parade float will commemorate the birth of Jesus, the true meaning of Christmas. “The bell still rings for those who truly believe.” On December 1st each year, our community gets together to see how loud we can make downtown Mebane show that we BELIEVE.
