Very proud to be at the Christmas parade and even prouder to be in this picture are this mother-daughter pair, Debbie Stringer, left, and Shannon Stringer.
Kyle Hill, 6, is a piece of candy cane as he awaits the Atlanta Christmas parade. He could have been on one of the floats.
We think these three elves have escaped Santa’s North Pole and have shown up waiting for the parade.They are, from left, Whitlee Price, and Abby and Elizabeth Lewallen.
All spread out and having nothing less than a picnic is this family of Kelsie Smith. Look carefully. How many people are in this picture? Eight, we bet you don’t guess correctly the first time.
Faces of Cass County
Parade faces certainly are unique. They don’t happen often, but when they do, one remembers.
Most of the time, when in a crowd, one diverts the eye, doesn’t look at any one.
Not at a parade. At a parade, everyone looks directly at one another.
“Who is this? Am I going to have to remember a name? If I don’t speak, will they think I’m uppity?”
And so one goes to a parade ready to smile. What’s best is when someone has gone to the effort of wearing something attractive or funny. Maybe a blanket too hot or short-sleeves too cold.
And then there are the youngsters who bend more quickly than we do to get the pieces of candy on the pavement and don’t apologize.
Finally, one smiles because families are here together having fun. It’s one of the best of times. Everyone loves a parade, it is said. Especially those who are in the parade making others laugh.
So enjoy putting on your parade face. Let people see the real you.
Here are five pictures of ones who did at last week’s Atlanta Christmas Parade. More than 100 entrants took over an hour to walk by probably a thousand or two spectators. That’s a lot of parade faces.
