Some of the Parade pictures. We had a great turn out this year. Seems to get bigger as the years go by. Looking forward to next year all ready.
We started the morning by serving gumbo n rice to the workers at the staging area. I think they said we served about 600 cups this
year. They started cooking around 7a.m. and we were ready to serve by 11.
People were coming to our area, drawn by the smell..wonderful. But, we had girls out with a cart taking it to the parking lot where everyone was working on their floats, cars, motorcycles and whatever they were going to be in the parade in. It is such a blessing to be able to do this for the public & have it received so openly. They were coming in & telling us how grateful they were, some wanted to give us money but this is an outreach from the church to the community. Last year we were freezing after a day of snow...this year it was beautiful...didn't even need a jacket until later in the afternoon.
