Mary Lou,
Thanks for the memories!  I remember it well since we sat in a bar on
main street and watched them go by.  The Christmas parade in Blacksburg
is dominated by commercial entries, mostly car companies and real estate
firms the parade by with their logos on their vehicles.  It was Mark and
Julie's idea to enter Raven in the parade to help counter the commercial
appeal.  We tried to hitch a ride but they had a full crew by then.
This is in the staging parking lot before the parade.  Can't see the
lights, don't know if they are on at this point but lights run where the
tinsel is and they hooked them up to an inverter hooked to their
battery.  They threw candy to the kids as they passed through town.
We've been meaning to duplicate their efforts by entering Getaway ever
since but haven't gotten around to it.  Might have to enter our whole
sailing association into the parade.

I'm going to forward to Mark and Julie and see what their response is. -

I guess no one here remembers the Mark & Julie Kaynor's entry in the
Blacksburg VA Christmas parade. I think this was maybe 2003 before they
sold
Raven to Pete Thorn, bought Rachel (Tayana 37) and went off cruising the
Bahamas. Scroll down for the attached pic.

 

Elle, if you are looking for great Christmas shots, consider the Rock
Hall
lighted boat parade. Usually the first Saturday in December, Santa
arrives
at the bulkhead in Rock Hall harbor around 6 pm (so it's dark and
usually
cold) aboard a work boat accompanied by a short lighted boat parade
while
members of the Kent County Community Marching Band play on shore. From
there
he gets onto a fire engine for the ride uptown and then walks the one
block
of Main Street to his little hut where  the kids line up to tell him
what
they want for Christmas. We missed it last year because we were away but
if
we are around, it's one of our favorite Rock Hall things.

Rick,

Lots of pictures and Christmas cards, but no Rhodes.
