Come Home to the Hill Country!

  Canyon Lake Texas Annual Christmas Parade!

This year's parade was a major hit in spite of crummy weather!  One thing Canyon Lake is famous for is our perseverence and great can-do attitude...we never let a little imclement weather steal our joy!  As a people who have survived two major 100 year floods of record, we know how blessed we are and everyone comes out to support the community no matter what!

I have been blessed to be the Parade Emcee for the fourth year in a row!

Maybe it is my "made for radio" voice or how cute I look in a Santa hat or just because the community knows they can count on me to represent!  I love being the parade emcee and I love the parade.  I have been in the parade every year since I moved to Canyon Lake, generally on a float representing our real estate company or the Chamber of Commerce or Women In Business and one year as Mrs. Canyon Lake International.  It is fun and my son marched in his first Canyon Lake Texas Annual Christmas Parade!  Usually he was on a float with me in years past, but this year there he was front and center in the Mountain Valley Middle School Mighty Hawk Band...praying that his mother wouldn't say something embarrassing over the PA system!  Wielding a microphone gives you parental powers like you have never known!!!

  For us the parade is a family affair!

My mom (fellow REALTOR and business partner) and I have always been involved in the Canyon Lake Texas Annual Christmas Parade.  For the past several years mom has hosted the parade dignitaries breakfast.  She has done her share of participating in the parade on company floats and civic floats as well through the years. The parade is sponsored by the Canyon Lake Noon Lions Club and as always we appreciate the support of Canyon lake React, Comal County Sheriff's Department, Mainstream Media and Moviestreet for their support and help in making the parade a community treasure!

  Here come the Hawks!!!

Yep, mine is the one in the tall standing elf hat in the front row with his trombone playing Jingle Bells!  I'm not proud or anything...NOT!  I took a moment to take some photos from the grandstand!  It rained, the temperatures dropped, the winds blew and miraculously five minutes before the parade started...the rain stopped, the wind calmed and the parade went off without a hitch!

We are...Canyon Lake!  We are...Canyon Lake Friendly! 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and come on out next December on the Second Saturday and watch the annual Canyon Lake Texas Christmas Parade!
