Saturday we were in the Christmas parade, with Clarence the dino, as usual. Greg really makes this possible for us to do every year.
He and Terry and I put Clarence on top of the van the night before. At the moment, he’s still up there because we haven’t been able to coordinate our schedules for 10 minutes to take him down.
I drove in the parade and Greg handed out candy canes. Also helping with distributing candy canes were the Briebiesca clan – Jesse, Joey and Christopher, and Peggy and Gary helped for the first time.
Greg took pix, which I’m sharing here. I tried to take a few during the parade, but you really have to pay attention to what’s going on when you’re driving. People are not very smart and will let their kids run out to get candy.
A few years ago a girl got her foot run over doing that so people are not supposed to throw candy anymore. We don’t, but we are about the only ones. However, I’d just as soon a candy cane with a tag with the MHA on it not be what someone is after when they get run over. So, we hand them out, like we’re supposed to.
The parade is always fun but it is some work. Next year we’ll have the homes tour to promote so we’ll be doing it again.
