Well that was confusing but fun.
We missed you somehow DEA. That is too bad, we were anxious to meet you and your son.
The rain caused quite a frantic. We were walking along side our float trying to pass out candy but we were at a slow jog the entire time! UI think they were trying to beat the rain.
Here are some pictures:

I'm so sorry guys. I had a child seat malfunction, as in the vehicle it was in wasn't where it was supposed to be.
By the time I got there I parked below Mountain Credit Union and tried to keep up a good pace. By then the Cherry Street floats had started, and I busted a move to catch up, at least get close to walk with ya, but once I made it half way down Main Street I was forced to give up. Not really easy to beat feet with thirty pounds of child. O:
Then I realized how far I'd went and had to walk back. My arms were definitely killing me when I got back.
I do apologize so much because I really wanted to be there. And I was so looking forward to meeting you all. I enjoy the pictures, wish I could have been part of them. ):

Dang! I had no clue you were doing this! I did see a soggy float late that day on an ingles run.
We saw your float at yer house, and thought you were going nuts decorating! LOL!
BTW, great tip: We bought some of the new LED christmas lights... no heat, 10,000 hour life (like 20 years or so), and best of all, they use between 80% and 90% LESS electricity then standard twinkle lights.. and they are much brighter, and have more color as well!

Same here. I think last year our electric bill was like $125 more then usual.
Target has the best prices on them locally.
I still have more lights to go up in the windows, and more to put on the deck as well.
I used to use those twinkle light icicle strands, but I counted how many we used last year, and the number is astounding.
I think this year, we'll actually be using only 1/10th of the power we used last year, just by replacing the icicles with the led "twinkle lights"
I'm sure next year we'll see flashing led lights, and led icicle strands as well.
The brightness and vibrant colors are what impressed us almost as much as the power savings.

It wasn't an enjoyable trip this year. Maybe we collectively can make an effort next year. Next time, we'll know we have a float, and I'm happy to help with the creation. I'm still feeling bad about not getting up with you guys.
Any chance of the float making it to the Canton parade?

What the Waynesville Parade had with wet weather, the Canton Parade made up for in cold wind. Very good parade though, I think the wind was the only real headache.
I also think it would have been very nice if we could have had a WaynesvilleLive float in Canton too.
Next year, things will be different..
Lets make some more plans for this next year. I'll be willing to help on both floats next year. I also have a trailer (little bigger) myself we can use if you prefer. There is a good chance I can get my store manager to also support the effort as well.
More plans next year.

Ok, when was the Canton Parade??
Also, anyone know when the Gatlinburg parade is? It was huge last year, and that probably would be a good placement for the WL float...

You missed a good one. Canton's is different from Waynesville. It always is after dark.
I should have posted about it, but completely forgot until I was on my way.

Gatlinburg's Christmas parade is tonight. We went last year, and it is LONG!
(We also were freezing last year.. I think this year is a little warmer)
