A local town held its first Christmas parade since 1960.   A Facebook group I am member of entered some Jeeps.   I felt a little out of place among the lifted lighted new Jeeps,  but still had fun.   My 3 year-old granddaughter rode with me.
 
This photo was taken during the lineup.

I hope you were the leader of the pack! Wilson was here long before the others and, probably, will be here long after they are gone.

Very cool. I agree, Wilson should be leading the parade!

Just the opposite,   we were almost dead last !!  Only that lime green one was behind us.
 
Actually,  being last worked out very nice . . . for a few reasons.
 1) my granddaughter was waiting for me at the start of parade route.   So she got to see almost the entire parade before I arrived,  then she got to ride the route.
2)  SANTA very close behind us
3) at the end,  I did not have to get jammed into a parking lot to wait for parade to end.   I could simply drive back to the beginning where the trailer was parked,  BEFORE everything got crowded. LOL
 
Saving the best for last.  Wink
 
Steve,  you should do this next year.  In Culpeper.   Is was actually nice for the 1st year,  probably will only get better.
