This was three years ago when we entered the parade for the first time ever. If you couldnāt tell, it was pouring rain all day. I waited until the last second to whip this parade āfloatā together. The tents I borrowed flew away three times in the wind, one of them broke, the paint wouldnāt dry because it was too cold, and I was soaked down to my underwear all day. I had planned to draw eyes on the reindeer, add more lights, bells, and red tinsel, but the day moved too quick and this was what we were left with. All that aside, 20 of my daughterās friends showed up to the parade and got to walk/ride, hand out candy, and make our city smile. Somehow we made it as the center photo in the newspaper and got second places for āBest Christmas Spiritā (I didnāt even know there was a competition) All that to say... it was worth every second! Next year will be even better! And just like that, a new tradition was made! Merry Christmas everyone! Stay tuned for the parade video of last year next!!!
