The Davies Family was there in support and our 567 banner carriers. There was a nice gentle snow that fell most of the day. We had walkers,Nancy Cruse and Larry Crandell handing out candy to all the kids along the parade route. Not sure who had more fun, our members or the kids!! Our Club won best Motor Vehicles display for the parade. Thanks to all the members that brought their cars down and the members or spouses and friends that supported the parade and the club!

Special thanks to Al Sweet and Jerry Demeria for passing this along.
