Lebanon Carriage Parade
We went to the annual carriage parade in Lebanon.
The sky was overcast, the temperatures in the mid to upper 50's.
A beautiful day to watch a Christmas parade.
Sunday's Enquirer reported that over 200,000 people were in attendance.

The route was changed this year.
The carriages went on the side streets before coming back down the main street.
The horses ranged in size from the miniatures
to the Clydesdales
and the Percherons.
Mr. and Mrs. Clause talked with the children on the opposite side of the street.
Santa's Elves were out and about, too.
An interesting pair pulling the Gorman Heritage Farm wagon.
And the Grinch came for a visit.
Who is that riding with him?
Santa's elves had their own wagon.
The carriage with the present of a miniature pony.
The forerunner of the limousine.
An early Kroger wagon.
The parade concluded with a four horse wide hitch pulling the fire engine.
There were over 100 entries.
We watched for Slim and Sally, but suspect
that they were in the parade in nearby Trenton.
