The 21st Annual Lebanon Carriage Parade

The weather was chilly - 28 degrees - but the sun was shining.


We elbowed our way through the crowds surrounding the food booths.

The 'elves' would be walking along the parade route asking for donations.







And, let the parade begin!

The first carriage was pulled by a Haflinger; next, a wagon pulled by a couple of Clydesdale 'plow' horses.
This wagon is pulled by a couple of Clydesdale 'show' horses followed by the 'horse with eight legs.'
Here are two nice standard breds and a nice Percheron.
Here are a couple of Percherons from just down the road. Every now and then, the parade would come to a halt. This Percheron is waiting for the parade to begin again.
A wagon being pulled by a nice pair of grays.
Click on the first picture to see the long ears on this pair! Where we stood, we could see the parade coming and going! What a treat!
Next came the miniature teams pulling The Grinch and Santa's elves.
The middle pair of these Clydesdales was w-a-y too frisky...they were the lead team on the return trip!
The well-trained black Percherons were the stars of the show!
The parade ended with a four-wide hitch pulling the fire truck.
There were close to 150 different entries in the parade; each entry different than the last.
