December 5: 25th Annual La Jolla Christmas Parade

Youth Marshalls 2010

This year Zoey was selected to be a Youth Marshall in the La Jolla Christmas Parade.  The LJCDS Madrigals always sing on a float for the parade and we have had fun watching it in the past.  It was very cool to watch Zoey go by on the special float with the other Youth Marshalls this year.  Sadly, I forgot the camera, but some photos and links are below.

Local principals were asked to selected outstanding young people to be honored as youth marshals in the 53rd annual La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival to be held Dec. 5 in downtown La Jolla. The event, which runs down Girard Avenue and then turns down Prospect Street, begins at 2 p.m. A holiday festival follows at the La Jolla Recreation Center.

The “Christmas By the Sea” aquatic-themed event includes marching bands, floats, equestrian units, vintage automobiles and an appearance by Santa Claus capped by a tree-lighting ceremony in front of La Jolla Rec Center.
