The Forest Service had a cabin parade float complete with Smokey the Bear. There were lots and lots of horseback riders and bicyclists, all decorated with lights and holiday cheer. A few Grinch’s made appearances too.
The sidewalks were absolutely filled with families. Everyone was bundled up in jackets, beanies, and blankets. Some were standing, most were sitting in chairs they had set up early that morning. Kids sat atop their parents shoulders to watch the brightly lit parade floats pass by. People cheered and laughed from start to finish.
It was a great event to start off the Christmas season! Thank you Kiwanis Club of Old Town Clovis.
