I'm a retired educator (teacher/principal) who moved from Northern California to Payson, Arizona in September, 2010.
This blog will chronicle my adventures as I explore a different ecosystem and build my new home.

Payson's Christmas Light Parade

The first Saturday evening in the month of December is reserved for the Light Parade. Judy, our neighbor, was in charge this year. The parade had everything from llamas decked with lights, a serenading cowboy and his guitar, a kazoo and bedpan band (health center entry) to floats from the various businesses in town. (I apologize for our photos as we only had Randy's iPhone.)


The whole town comes out for this festive event. The float below is from Home Depot.


Waste Management even put a float together.


Many entries had music......some live! The Payson High School Band also played Christmas songs.


I thought the Girl Scouts did a great job on this entry.


Denny's was not to be out done by the other businesses in town.

Santa and Mrs. Claus were at the end of the parade in a sleigh drawn by a Shetland pony. The pony kept trying to eat the garland around his neck. Sorry.... we didn't get a good photo of Santa. Santa went to Mo Jo's, a local restaurant, after the parade to have fun with the kids.
