Loose Leaf Notes

-The following pictures appeared in The Floyd Press on November 30, 2023 – I knew we were in trouble when I counted four Grinches in the Floyd Christmas Parade this year.

The route was also well represented with Kazim Shriner Clowns who were bound to get in a little trouble.

And some clowns were grinches.

I could do this whole post on the clowns. They really went to town clowning around and spreading their zany antics of fun. See HERE. 

This one caused a brief traffic jam.

This one stepped up to direct it.

It’s always fun to see a pony in a tutu.

I was happy to see my friend Jason Rutledge of Healing Harvest Foundation participating in the parade.  Jason is a biological woodsman who practices restorative forestry and logs and plows with horses.

The theme this year was Small Town Blessings.

I wait every year for the Floyd County Marching Band to raise the energy with their big holiday sounds.

And for the Old Time music of the Handmade Music School musicians from The Floyd Country Store. Listen HERE. 

The Floyd Democrats did a float this year with a theme of bringing everyone to the table.

My friend Mim, who marched with young actors, passed out candy and invites to a Christmas Spectacular Musical Variety Show at the High School Auditorium December 2 at 7 p.m. and December 3 at 2 p.m.

There was a gingerbread house made by Boy Scout Troop 19.

And firetrucks.

 

Did I mention Grinches?

And don’t forget Santa!

The whole parade was FAB YULE OUS and this is just a glimpse. I plan to post more pictures to a Facebook album. Coming soon.
