Christmas Parade and Notes

Yesterday was a big day in Bastrop with the Christmas Parade and all.  Judy opened the gallery about 10:00 a.m. and I went down about 3:00 p.m.  We served cookies, snacks and hot cider, coffee and tea in the coffee urn.  There were so many people in town.  Traffic was a mess, but it was fun and the parade was great. 

I took a few photos and thought movies might be better, not sure that was a good idea.  I left the local sound on the movie, Gene said it was driving him crazy so you may not enjoy 5 minutes of parade noise.  :)  Here are a few photos as well.

Margo, a blogger friend, came out from Austin.  It is fun to meet internet friends.  Other folks came by, too, that we hadn't seen for a while.  It was fun.  If we didn't see you last night, hope to see you next time.

The Color Guard

Folkloric Dancers (in the movie)

The lead off fire truck.

Not the live Santa, ha.

Is this guy from New York City?

The longhorns from the Hiatt, all lighted up.  I was out of memory by then.  :(

These kids were dressed so cute from around the world but their lights weren't working.

Some of the Scouts.

Pretty lights.

A tricycle for fun.

Looks like a fun night. Kinda wish I'd gone out for the parade.

Joanna, it was a nice evening. Good weather, too. We had a good crowd, but not shoppers. :)
