This event is generally well attended. We're supposed to have nice weather so I'm sure the streets will be lined with spectators!

Good morning Donna. Please take some photos to share with us. I would like to be there however, it is a little outside of my travel zone.

Just before the end of the year, Parker opened a new ice skating "ribbon" near the new library. It's drawn a lot of attention. I bet there will be a lot of "first dates" there! Happy New Year!
