Harpers Ferry Christmas Parade!

The Harpers Ferry Christmas parade was a great success! Clissy Funkhouser sang
"The Wrath Against PATH" the length of the parade route, and we could see people
tapping their feet and bobbing their heads along to the music. We had six or eight people
walking alongside the float handing out almost a thousand information cards and
glow-in-the-dark bracelets that said, "Oh No, We Won't Glow!" Many of the parade-goers
thanked us for our efforts to stop the project - there were only a handful of people who rejected
our message.

The parade organizers did a fabulous job, especially when the parade grew from 20 to almost
120 floats in just a week! It was the biggest parade Bolivar and Harpers Ferry ever held, and
they kept everything organized and moving along.

Many thanks to the people who helped make the float, assemble the handouts and walk
through Bolivar: Steve Smith and his wife Shirley and son Sammy, Keryn Newman, Scott Tatina
and his daughter Amy, Dawn Goings, Robin Huyett Thomas, Sandie Henry, Roger Eitelman,
Bob Montgomery - and if I forgot someone, my most humble apologies!
