Today we went to the Hamilton Santa Claus parade. I've never gone to it before, but the company Brad works for (I originally wrote "we", I guess TU is isn't quite out of my blood yet) was entering a float for the first time. I was skeptical since I remember being told one year that the local Waste Management company put in their truck & did not clean it first. There was a garbage truck in again this year, but it was painted pink & had support breast cancer fund raising information posted on it & it was also sparkling clean & smelling fresh. All in all, it was a pretty good parade.
It moved fast & had quite a few bands (which are my favourite part). The fact that it was over 13 degrees today didn't hurt either. Kim & Pete are visiting mom this weekend to get some Christmas shopping done, so Mom & Regan came along for the fun too. It sure beat the cold that Mom & I stood in last year during the Burlington parade.
My winner for best float
"City of Waterfalls", not typically one's first thought about Hamilton
The "Save the Greyhound" participants came up close for a personal touch.
