Time to share the rest of the images from when Carla, Teresa, and I went Oskaloosa to check out the largest and oldest Christmas Lighted Parade in Iowa. I’m afraid the pictures don’t really do it justice. If you ever have a chance to check it out, I would highly recommend it. Just dress warm!

Finding parking is particularly hard for this event as there isn’t a ton of parking in downtown Oskaloosa and the streets are packed for the parade. We got to the parade what I thought was plenty early, but still there was no parking to be found. Then as we were driving down a street that was a mere block away from the parade route, there was an elderly gentleman standing on our porch waving us to park in his driveway.

We parked in his driveway cause he couldn’t go to the parade but he wanted people to be able to park close to it and his driveway was open. It was very generous and we offered him money. But he wasn’t like the people that give up their yard for cars during the Iowa State Fair. He was just being generous. Teresa made him a card and mailed it to him.

The next trip I will cover is a trip I made to Clear Lake to see the Color the Sky Festival.
