A Very Merry Madison Christmas Parade..A Mediocre Photo Essay. (at best)

It was looking a lot like Christmas in Madison during the Bicentennial Holiday Parade.

Now my family, all except teenage son who was too tired (too kewl) to go, scurried downtown to stand across from the Courthouse to view the festivities.

It was turning dark ~ and I couldn’t really tell what my camera was doing. It wasn’t doing much. But here is some of what I captured.

As always..the parade started with our most excellent fire department.

This is a firetruck, in case you can't tell.

The parade had its share of dignitaries. The Chick-fil-A cow.

These pictures aren’t getting better. Sorry. You might want to stop right here, if you haven’t already. Or maybe I’ll just get more vivid with my descriptions.

That’s really some antique ambulance. Like from the 70s. I think that’s my best shot of the entire parade. 🙂
 
 
 
And the celebrities keep rolling by…

This is probably my worst shot of the entire affair. Unfortunately Mark was turned the other way…but he was screeching by so fast this blurry shot was the best I could get of the 2009 High School Principal of the Year. Yes, that’s right of all the high schools in the county, Mark was voted number one. Follow him on Twitter @tweet30650. He tweets ALL THE TIME. 
 
 
 
Okay. He rarely tweets. That’s what makes his lone tweet every 2 months or so special and full of educator knowledge.
 
 
 
 
Here comes another celebrity. One of the best people on the planet.

 If you don’t know her, you are missing way out. Just don’t too many people clamor around her, because that wouldn’t leave any room for me. And my needs are always most important.

 

Here come the Clydesdales. Just picture them crashing through the snow. See how fast they’re going….

And of course no Christmas Parade would be complete without..

I guess I better practice a bit more before Macy’s next Thanksgiving.

So signing off from across from the Courthouse for another year.  Too bad I couldn’t capture all the spectacle a bit better….But here’s wishing you a merry season from Madtown, Georgia wherever you are sitting in front of your computer at moment.

    Reminds me of the parades in Archer’s Lodge NC where my family is from. All that’s missing is a marching band.

  3. Jamie Miles says:

    There were two marching bands. Just thought I’d spare you the horrible photos.

  4. Burns says:

    “Celebrity” is a bit much don’t you think?

  5. Jamie Miles says:

    No way! You are most definite celeb. Surprised the paparaazi not camped out at Chick-fil-A 24/7.
