Goliad Christmas Parade

Our small town has a Christmas Celebration every year and it starts off with a Parade on Friday night...

Quiet a few of the participants canceled this year due to the snow but by late afternoon the sky's had cleared, it was chilly but beautiful.

Michael and I have made it a yearly tradition to go and watch the parade. They also have arts & crafts and food vendors set up around the court house square. Michael has to have his sausage on a stick and I like to peruse the stores and vendors.

Part of downtown Goliad.

One of the vendors all lit up!

Looking up at the court house tower.

Michael has his sausage on a stick and he's ready for the parade.

Notice he also has his snow pants & winter coat on but oh so toasty warm!

After Michael finished his dinner we went in a few of the stores. I love the Goliad pharmacy, they always have so many cute decorations. The tea party above was one of Michael's favorites.

They also had some gorgeous trees decorated.

The Grand Marshal and the beginning of the parade...

I think (if I remember correctly) this was a 57 Chevy Bel air...

Goliad fire truck all decked out for Christmas.

The 4-H float.

Beeville's fire truck.

A few tractors decorated.

They always do a nice job of lighting them up! What can I say it's the country and not Christmas without decorating the tractors :o)

Michael's favorite, The helicopter!

Gritz towers inc. float.

It was pretty neat as they used the topper on one of their towers and had it all lit up.

And here's Santa Claus!

It was a short parade but we like them like that...Short & Sweet!
