We went to the Lake Charles Christmas parade today. (60 degrees and sunny) Andrew and Eric rode on our church's float. This photo of First Presbyterian's float was taken at last year's Christmas parade.
Oh, the pageantry. The parade marshall was followed by the Harley Club. What a lot of bikes. Looked like fun. Soon after came our mayor, Randy Roach. There were high school marching bands, cajun bands, radio station vans. Floats carried a brownie troop, the Little League champs, church groups, daycares, and festival queens. Candy and colorful beads flew from every float. There were a couple pirate ships, practicing for Contraband Days, I guess. And naturally, Santa followed behind in a firetruck. Merry Christmas!

cool...I avoid parades.
Louisianian parades tend to include a lot of drinking of alcoholic beverages. And since I'm usually too sober I get pissed off too easily surrounded by all of the drunken merriment.
But the church float looked fun!
Maybe those drunken parades are more with Mardi Gras. I didn't see any imbibing yesterday.
I forget Lake Charles and Lafayette people are different. In Cajun Country they drink cause its a day of the week. lol
Well, now that you mention that, in regards to my previous post about the poor health status, the one thing in La.'s favor was a low percentage of binge drinking. And it occured to me that maybe there's a low percentage of binge drinkers because they drink steadily all the time!
