Winnemucca Christmas Parade

Wow, where do i even begin??
The City of Winnemucca puts on a Christmas Parade each year.
So, our homeschool group decided to participate.
What a ton of work...

This was such a labor of love for one of our committed homeschool mom, Jackie.

She invested so much time and energy into planning, designing the float,
prepping all the decorations, organizing the kids... I could go on and on...

It was pretty shaky towards the end but it all came together!

And it was fantastic!
The theme was Candyland Christmas!

The day finally arrived...

The kids made the candy decorations...

The gingerbread float assembled...

Lots of people waiting....

in cold excitement...

These parades are a big deal here...

 and the kickoff of the Christmas Season...

so many great floats...

I wish I could post them all...

Thanks to another amazing dedicated mom, we had a sweet spot to watch the parade!

Finally there they are!

There's Spencer walking with the homeschool sign!

So proud of these kids...

The younger kids rode on the float while the big kids walked it...

Did I forget to mention that it was really cold?

but everyone was bundled up...

and seemed to enjoy the evening!

I never imagined we would be in a parade in Nevada, lol

 They even made the newspaper...

Thank you Winnemucca...

What a wonderful memory this will be someday...
