Hope everyone enjoyed the Montrose Christmas Parade last Saturday.

The heavens opened up and washed the street the day before, the weather was festive, and the parade was fast moving, hopefully keeping the entrants somewhat warm. Nice coverage as usual by Jane Kane and Rick Dinger, and all who put this together.
