Rain poured on the Lafayette Christmas parade. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many people bundled up under umbrellas and ponchos to watch the festivities. Understandably, the number of people lining the streets was down from previous years. Maybe it was everyone wanting to get through quickly, but the parade down Main Street and over the bridge moved at a pretty brisk pace. This was Brett's first year to walk (instead of being pulled in the wagon). He helped carry our banner.
The News Channel 18 crew gathered by our live truck about 30 minutes before the 2:00 parade start. Our weather folks, Mike Prangley, Steve Scherer, and Kelly Greene correctly predicted the rain. Even though some of us were hoping for snow instead.
You can watch the Christmas Parade on Channel 18 Noon-1:30 on December 15th and again on Christmas Day from 5:00p.m.-6:30p.m.
