    Parade pictures

    These are pictures from our 45th Annual Bowmanville Santa Claus Parade yesterday.I was at the very first one when we moved to the south end of Bowmanville in 1962 when I was 2 years old.The weather that day was snowy,blowing and cold,yesterday was cludy and cool,no rain.Lots of great floats,bands,some with bagpipes which my mom likes as her Dad and grandfather were from Glasgow, Scotland.First picture is Sparky,the Fire Dog.
