2011 Moncton Christmas Parade

Sorry, we are a little behind with our updates, we promise to do better :-)

We previously mentioned the Moncton Christmas Parade... we have been there of course and here is the link to our pictures at Picasa:

Otherwise, please check the link box to the right :-)

The parade is something you should have seen. For us a little bit odd, I have never seen anything like this happening in Muenster during christmas... :-) That would be an idea maybe :-)

The complete main street downtown was blocked by police. The you could see the first two police motorcycles roll down the road with all lights and the alarm signal on, followed by a police car, also with the full lights on... Not to mention the one that came up the road when we drove to downtown.. But that was the wrong direction ;-)

Little advise: do not look into these lights, otherwise you are blind for a bit... and the alarm is something to get used to...

Then you could see all the various organizations, schools, associations and companies. All with their own cars. And the opening was done by Majesta. That is the leading brand for washroom paper and paper napkins. You can see it on the pictures. 

The car of Home&Hardware was the best, you did not need any extra road lights, but very impressive ...

My favourites, however, were all the various mascots and figures joining the parade. For next year, I would love to participate for just being able to wear one of these costumes!

 

And of course these two gentlemen had to be at the parade as well... :-)

To round this up, here a picture of the light decoration in front of the city hall:
