We missed about half because we were in the coffee shop getting hot chocolate, but still made it in plenty of time to see a clown being towed on a skateboard, a four-wheeler costumed as Mater, and a transfer truck hauling the biggest candy cane I've ever seen in my life.
Santa and Mrs. Claus were in the square with a line fifty feet long, but we skipped them and the little kids' singing and strolled on home so BootsGrinch didn't have to spend any more time than necessary in a crowd enjoying cheesey, hokey Christmas celebrations.
