Texas Citrus Fiesta

Bright and early (8am) we headed up to the rec hall for Saturday morning coffee which is where we hear about the activities for the coming week and in this case the next month. After coffee, the king and queen of the park (chosen by the club members) posed beside the park's float for tonight's parade.

Just before 5pm we headed downtown to get a good spot to watch the parade and were surprised at the number of the people that were already there. Luckily, we were able to find an open piece of curb to sit on. Tonight's parade is special on two counts, one is that it is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of Mission in December 2008 and two it is the first time it has been held in the evening. The parade took about 90 mins. to go past us.

This horse was prancing creating a real roller coaster ride for the occupants.
