What a beautiful evening for a parade .... snow on the ground so it looked Christmasy, temperature just hovering around freezing and no precipitation. The parade ran for about 35 minutes, not bad for a small town and there were lots of spectators (at least in my opinion as this is the first time we have attended the local parade).

What's a Canadian parade without a Tim Horton's truck giving out free hot chocolate. Homer Simpson is appropriate as one of the main employers in the region is the nuclear plant.

Anne and I all bundled up for the parade. I had on enough layers that I didn't even get chilly. The clown was a big hit with the kids as he made balloon candy canes, swords, and hats for them.

A fellow we know brought his steam engine to the parade.

Here it is .... the airport float. The guys did a great job building this float.
