The Dahlonega Christmas Parade was a wonderful community event that brought out folks from all around the county and beyond. One of our favorite annual events in Dahlonega is seeing and catching up with several groups of folk who come up from Roswell and the Alpharetta areas just for the parade and the lighting of the Christmas tree. This year, my children all had favorite floats in the parade -
Winston loved the Fire Truck (as he does every year) - especially when it blew its horn.
William (age 3) loved what he called the "monster truck" - and though it wasn't a true monster truck, it certainly appeared as such while sitting just a few feet away from the massive black pickup.
Victoria loved the Lumpkin County band and seeing one of her friends in the Methodist Church's float.
All three children loved the candy . . . and will continue to love it for several more days.
I invite everyone to come visit the beautifully decorated square during the Christmas holidays. It is one of the most delightful, warm and welcoming town squares in America.
Have a wonderful Christmas.
