Attached is a list of some Christmas Parades in our area    some like antiques, classic cars in their parade some do NOT like them in their parade
I got the date, start time(not line-up time), phone #, email address or website it is up to you to get more info or talk to someone that has been in the parade that you want to go to 

SOME LIKE FOR YOU TO THROW CANDY & SOME DO NOT ALLOW IT SOME WANT YOU TO HAVE A WALKER BESIDE, IN FRONT OF, BEHIND YOUR VEHICLE TO HAND OUT CANDY  –   OBEY THEIR RULES!!!!!!
ONE RULE IS:  NO ONE DRESS LIKE SANTA OR MRS. CLAUSTHEY HAVE ONE AT THE END OF THE PARADE – PUT A REDBOW, CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS ON YOUR CAR
you think small communities will not have many kids – THINK AGAIN! A WHOLE LOT OF CANDY SO YOU WILL HAVE ENOUGH TO GET TO THE END OF THE PARADE –  GO TO SAMS OR WALMART – LOVE TO THROW CANDY OUT TO THE YOUNGER KIDS & OLDER ADULTS & TEENAGERS – SOME TEENAGERS WILL HAVE A BOX, PILLOW CASE & BIG BAGS LOVE TO SEE ALL OF THEIR FACES LIGHT UP!!
