Dec 4th, 2010 - Candy Cane Parade

Holiday Candy Cane Parade
Hollywood Beach Boardwalk

Dress up you Jeep in holiday decorations because it's that time again!

France, Monique, Patrick and I had a great time at the parade. It was great seeing some folks we haven't seen in a while, catching up and meeting new people and their famillies. All the Jeeps in the unit were decked out in a big way and truly stunning (in a holiday sense of course, rather than their usual offroad way). Great job everyone for the superior decorating :question: and from spectator response it looks like the Jeeps were a crowd pleaser again. With three floats; Jack's Hay Ride, Dave's Holiday lawn on a trailer and Sergio's RTI & TJ combo, we may have a first for our unit.

This was by far the biggest spectator crowd yet (hat's off to parade organizers). We went through 600 candy canes in no time flat. I suspect the story is similar for everyone else as well.

Here's a few highlight shots

Jack, awesome job, the hoops with lights really make the float!


Jeepers prep for the parade, stringing lights and decorations.


Otis - nicely & tastefully done.


I'm such the sucker for under lights. Nice!


Can't be the Winter holidays without snow... in a big way.


Love the street party feel of this parade.
