Lights and Lists

Man that parade of Lights was amazing. Made up for the shitty Christmas parade this year. We used to have something called the "festival of lights" were people would decorate their boats down on the docks. You could go spend the entire day looking and seeing Santa, and getting cocoa and cookies. Then at night you park along lake shore drive, and the boats go down to the dam and back. Just wonderful. Well this year, the park service and the Aramark company, in all it's infinite wisdom, decided to close all concessions this winter so no festival. The city and citizens were in an uproar. So, they decided to do a parade down main street at night. You could decorate absolutely any vehicle and drive down. A bunch of the businesses on main street turned off all their outdoor lights for this too. Made it really cool. The fire trucks had lights on them. Motorcycles and 4 wheelers. Peoples trucks, and flatbed trailers, couple horse trailers. Then there was a few people that decorated their boats and drove them down main street (on a boat trailer of course) There was about 10 santa's in this one, and some candy throwing. There were even people passing out little toys on the sides of the streets. Here are my three favorites. a huge trailer done all in red white and blue lights, with some people dressed as soldiers looking at a Christmas tree, and on the side it said, "remembering our troops at Christmas" There was a giant Santa on skies with the reindeer pulling him, said "santa's dream" He was skiing around a small model of rainbow bridge. Then the one the kiddo loved the most, it was done on a boat and in front of it. Santa in the boat, and lighted up Dolphins pulling it. And the lead dolphin had a red nose, and they had it rigged so the dolphin cut outs moved and looked like they were jumping through water. Very cool. Anyhow, enough of that.
