Christmas Parade in Valdosta

Every year there is a parade around Christmas time, but I always forget about it. My friend Sally texted me one afternoon and asked if I was going to photograph it, but I had no idea it was even happening - and only a couple blocks down the street from where I live to boot.

I grabbed a camera and took some b&w photos for fun, with my Pentax 67ii. Here's a few of the Valdosta High Marching Band, which always brings back memories of my parade days:

Here are some floats:

And some people (the kids on the second photo were fighting over a huge batch of candy that was thrown from one of the floats):
