Christmas Parade

Saturday, 10 December 2011

It was in a small town called Kellyville in the state of Oklahoma. My favorite of the parade were these 2 'penguins'.



For me, Christmas parade is not complete with the Santa Claus!

64th Annual Dogie Days Parade, Dumas

Saturday, 12 June 2010

Good thing, it was sunny during the parade because the evening and night saw severe thunderstorms! It was the 64th Annual Dogie Days Parade, organised by the Dumas Noon Lions Club and and the Dumas/Moore County Chamber of Commerce.

The children got to collect sweets and whatever is thrown to them!


One parade participant threw coins. One was meant for me because I found it after people have left and we were walking back to our car.

I missed this event last year. It was not 'dogs' event as I have thought. I thought it was 'doggie' day! I thought people would bring their dogs to the park for some event. And being a dog lover, I looked forward to this day. Anyway, I learnt today it was hot'dogs' day. You find/buy them at the fair, at the park.

Hot'dogs' stall was not opened when we went to the fair this afternoon. Instead we got hamburgers, corn on the cob and ice cone.
