Mid Valley Christmas Parade

 

We had a cold front move in yesterday so it was a bit chilly after all the hot weather we have had. The temperature got down to single digits last night so we even needed to turn the heater on for a bit. However, this morning by 9am it was hot again and according to the forecast it will remain so until after Christmas.

Yesterday, much of  the RV park gang got together at Keno's in Weslaco for an early dinner as we all wanted to watch the Christmas parade. By the time we finished eating there were already people lined up on the sidewalks  so we found  spaces for our chairs and settled in. Unfortunately the temperature was only about 8 C and there was a good wind so it was very chilly. Our friend Jude lent Anna and I a quilt to wrap around our legs which helped a lot.  Everyone was bundled up.

 

The Parade was well worth the wait. It had a little bit of everything.

The theme was a "Jazzy Christmas" so there were floats with jazz bands playing.

 

Many organizations had floats. I thought this one was very well done.

 

There were marching bands, many cars with Queens and Princess'es from different parts of the Valley.  Miss Teen Texas was there also.

If you are wondering what REALLY happened to Elvis, here he is.

Even the army was there and they got a very rousing response from the crowd.

The Parade lasted for about 11/2 hours but Anna and I succumbed to the cold and left a few minutes before it was over.
 I am very glad to have the hot weather return today.

Keep warm.
