Great pictures! We watched from home this year, but I enjoyed going when my son was in marching band (go Enloe!). It's a fun tradition!

Cool pics. You even got a few good ones of Scotty! Great job!

And who knew there was a "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness" group with its own float?

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting those great pictures. I actually just got back from participating in the parade. I, like many use to scoff at having such a parade so early in November. However, after being in it today I certainly appreciated the beautiful mild weather we got to enjoy by having the parade this early in the month. The 60K plus people in the crowd seemed to enjoy it as well.

Good job with the pics!

I really wanted to go to this, but alas husband was feeling well. Thanks for sharing. It was very thoughtful of you! Happy Thanksgiving!

Whoops - I meant to say, "WASN'T" feeling well.

They do it before Thanksgiving so it can be aired on Thanksgiving Day and later again on Christmas Day.
