The annual Henderson Christmas parade has come and gone. This was my first and hopefully, not my last. As a team, the RE/MAX associates at RE/MAX Superior, REALTORS came up with a theme in late November: Homes for the Holidays. Now, I've never been a part of a float creation team before. I wasn't one of the elite at my high school that was asked to participate in building the class float or being in the parade. Needless to say, I was REALLY excited about this project! We are extremely lucky that Kelly Estes, the better half of one of our REALTORS, is extremely creative and talented. She figured out how to make the little houses and trees out of cardboard boxes and directed the artistically challenged (me) in the proper painting technique for the roofs of the homes. (No, Kathy DON'T hold the can in one place. Back and forth, back and forth, etc) LOL! It was great fun and worth the cold that I and others had the following week after our "craft day".
The day before the parade, we assembled and put the finishing touches on the float. I have to say it was a neat float. Surely we would get some kind of placement right? Well, we WON!!! 1st place in the corporate division!! Our first year in Henderson, our first float AND first prize! We were all so excited: giving each other high-5's and hugs. Then the parade actually started. What a great time! Even though is was very cold (20's) and we were all bundled up like eskimo's it was a blast. As you can see, we are all very proud of our float and have even talked about a bigger and better float next year!!
