Cary Christmas Parade 

Cary Christmas Parade brings back fond family memories.  When my daughter's were at Davis Drive Elementary School they participated on the "Jump Rope Team".  They practiced routines in the school parking lot, with parent volunteers, for weeks preparing for the Cary Christmas Parade.  Notice the coordinating sweatshirts in the picture, yes, I was one of those parent volunteers.  It was a time in my life I throughly enjoyed.  About 50 kids were a part of the team, both boys and girl from grades 3-5.  It was a honor to be selected after a round of try-outs.  The kids wore the sweatshirts with pride.

Parade day was always filled with excitement.  We participated three years in a row.  Each year the weather was as diverse and the kids and families of Cary NC watching.  One year freezing, the next warm and balmy, and of course the final year we attended it was threatening rain.  

The best part of being a parent volunteer with the Cary Christmas Parade was being able to walk the route with the kids.  Our job was to keep them walking, well jumping, in a straight line  It sounds so simple....not!

Events like the Cary Christmas Parade and the Davis  Drive Jump Rope Team  are just a few of the reasons I truly love living in the neighborhoods of Cary NC.  Cary is a community of family values and  it has been the best place to raise my children.  The girls pictured are all college-age now.  Not the best picture.  They were scanned from a scrap book. We plan to go to the Cary Christmas Parade as a family and reminisce when we were a part of it all those years ago.
