Not so good parade!

Went to the Marion Christmas parade this year and it was lacking to say the least. Last year was awesome! Santa came in on the train and got off and greeted everyone. This year they didn't even have a Santa! How are you going to have a Christmas parade and not have a Santa?

They did, however, have the Cat in the Hat, The Grinch and Cindy Lou Who aka Little Miss Marion Main Street!





The Grinch jumped off and I thought he was coming straight for Hayes! Luckily he went up to the little girl sitting beside us and she was terrified.

Other than these characters, a couple of convertibles with local queens, police car, firetruck and a local girl scout troop that was about it. The parade lasted all of 5 minutes, and Hayes got some candy thrown his way.
