Default My take on the parade

This was our 1st Christmas parade. We got there early and had great front row seats. Couldn't figure out, though, why the coffee and food was buried in the staging area. They would have sold a lot more of everything if the food area had been up by the front gate. It sure was different from the "up North" parades. They have lots of fire engines, emergency equipment, marching bands, military units, etc. All in all, it was a good time, except for the rude, pushy people wanting to get on the shuttle busses to go home when it was over. Not talking older people either. Lots in the late teens, 20's, etc. Will we be there next year? You betchya. (If the powers to be don't cancel it).
