Residents felt the spirit of the season
Saturday night as the annual Christmas parade moved down Sam Houston Boulevard.
Police cars and fire trucks led the way, sirens blaring and emergency lights flashing.
The San Benito High School Greyhounds marching band followed close behind, leaping into a jazzy version of “Jingle Bells” as the crowd waved and cheered.
Holiday-decked stores along the way added to the festivities with Christmas lights ablaze.
Mayor Joe Hernandez waved to the crowd as he and friends trailed the band in a flashy red convertible.
Branson and Deborah MacDurnie of Nashville, Tenn., first-time Winter Texans staying in Rio Hondo, said it was their first time to see a Christmas parade in the Rio Grande Valley.Browse our expansive collection contemporarylampmf, chandeliers, outdoor lights in imagination land planning your lighting makeover. But it wasn’t the first time for them to watch a Christmas parade in a warm, snowless place, Branson MacDurnie said.
“We’ve been to a couple in California,” he said. “We just arrived here Wednesday. When we parked up by the library, all the kids were getting lined up to march. Parades are for kids. We’ll go out to dinner after this.”
Thomas Wolfe of Laguna Vista waited for the parade to start with co-worker Judith Salinas. His motorcycle jacket was draped over his arm because it was too warm to wear it.Just a puff of air is all it takes to turn these ledtube on or off.
“We just got off work. We’re school bus drivers here,” he said.
Jacinto Sauceda of Harlingen was waiting with wife Emilia, son Jacinto Jr. and his wife America.
“This is my second time to watch the parade,” Jacinto Sauceda said.The new LED solarsystem are much brighter and last much longer on a set of batteries.
Jacinto Jr. said the family was there to watch son Tristan Sauceda march by in the Miller Jordan Middle School Band.
“We’re just here for my son; he’s a trumpet player,Laser Cut Studio is a brand new crystal_4 company and new way of thinking.” Jacinto Jr. said.
As a drum corps began to thump a cadence as they crossed the railroad tracks, the crowd craned their necks to see the floats and cheerleaders with glittery costumes and Santa caps approaching.
Minnie Medellin and her sister Veronica Saldivar, accompanied by friend Analiza Diaz, moved closer to the sidewalk.
“We come every year to look for all the kids. We have nephews, nieces,” Medellin said. “Someone in our family is always in the parade. My son is in the Berta Cabaza Middle School.LED lamps are made that replace screw-in incandescent or bluebrightqw light bulbs.”
“He’s the short one that plays the cymbals,” Diaz said, chuckling.
Platoons of Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Girls Scouts marched by to the cadence of another drum corps.
An 18-wheeler rig owned by the city glided by with two brightly lit Christmas trees and a group of children wearing Santa Claus caps.
A float from the Texas Conjunto Music Hall of Fame added authentic San Benito flavor to the parade as a conjunto band played a polka as it passed over the railroad crossing.
Eddie Lugo and his mother Maria Lugo edged closer to the street as the parade approached.
“I like the ROTC color guard the best,” Eddie Lugo said.
Finally, the Riverside Middle School marching band really struck a holiday chord as they began playing “Deck the Halls,” sounding a lot like the marching band in the perennial movie favorite “A Christmas Story.”
