Burkesville Christmas Parade

The rain last weekend had forced the Burkesville Christmas Parade to be postponed until 5:30 PM Saturday December 18th. As we rode towards town to watch the parade, we heard WKYR announcing the events surrounding the parade. They had Girl Scouts singing carols and were also letting kids talk on the radio to tell what they wanted for Christmas. The Christmas Parade started with the police cars flashing their lights and blaring their sirens.
   
The Cumberland County High School Band was the first group that marched past and the kids were playing Christmas songs as they went around the square. Frosty the Snowman came trotting along the edge of the road saying "Merry Christmas" to the kids along the way.
   
Several vehicles came past with a couple of them drove by CRC club members. Then some floats were pulled through town and around the square.
  
The last thing in the parade was a fire truck with Santa Claus on top waving to all the kids and his elves throwing out candy. Santa had a microphone so everyone could hear his Christmas wish of "Merry Christmas to all."
   

The membership of the Cumberland River Cruisers wish everyone a
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

A Message From Secretary Julie Waits

We wish everyone of our fellow cruise-in members a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

We also wish to thank each of you for your thoughts and prayers and also for the generous monetary donation. It is very much appreciated and very helpful during this time. I am continuing with my treatments until the end of December and then will have to wait 3 to 4 weeks to have another scan and see if the treatments have helped.

Again - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and May the Lord Bless each of you for the coming year.

Julie and Sam Waits
