Parade of Lights!

It was HUGE!!!

When I drove uptown, at a few minutes past 6:00, I was left mouth agape because Main Street was MOBBED!



I aimed for the Park and was allowed to park in a spot in front of the Doyles' home- Sandy Harding and her sisters had gathered there - a perfect place to see the floats.



Photographingthe floats turned out to be tricky, but here's the general idea! It's one of those times, 'tho, when you really had to be there to see it for yourselves. There must have been nearly thirty floats and marching groups: here are just a few.























All of the floats and vehicles had competition from building along Main Street - New York Pizza, Merri-Rose and Michael's were all aglow as was Morgan's and - on East Main Street - the Waterville Times' windows are hung with garlands and colored lights; the Uptown Salon is magical in white "twinkle lights" and icicles, and the "blue house" has not gleamed as brightly as it does, now, for many years.

For those of you who are too far away to see for yourselves, I'll take more pictures in the next evenings, but if you live right near Waterville, do try and take time to drive all around the village to see how brilliantly we sparkle and gleam!
