Cottonwood Lighted Christmas Parade VFW Post 4902 and the Cottonwood American Legion led off the parade.  Santa Claus rode through the parade on a vintage firetruck right behind all the newer firetrucks.  The Cottonwood Saddliers 4-H Club put on the parade and also had an entry.  The Tri-Parish Youth had a rolling Nativity Scene and sang Christmas carols.  The Idaho County Fair Royalty were in the Parade and may have wished they had the big umbrellas from the big parade float.  A couple of young ladies drove a pony cart through the parade.  Bill Key drove the Coyotes entry through the parade.  An American Bar had a parade entry.  Cottonwood Mayor Keith Holcomb and family drove their crane through the parade.  A couple of escapees from Cottonwood Butte Ski Area were in the parade.  A rodeo royalty group were in the parade.  After the parade was over everyone moved to the Community Hall for Santa's Cabana and warmed up with hot dogs, chili dogs, cookies, hot chocolate and hot coffee served up by the leaders and members of the Cottonwood Saddliers. |
