Sharon's Festival of Light Parade

Saturday night we found ourselves down on the green to watch the Light parade, sponsored by the Sharon Fire Department. I think this was Sharon's third, maybe fourth parade of this type. Decorated vehicles run from old (Sharon's old Reo firetruck from the 1930's) to new (many firetrucks) from large ( firetrucks, tractors, both large and small, to small (really small motorcycles---and I mean really small!!) And lets not forget sirens! And air horns! Yee Haw! It was a heck-of-a-good-time! Lot's of pic's, so I'll stop talking, and let the pictures talk for me....






















































































So, there's some quick pic's from Saturday's parade. I loved them all, especially the little motorbikes and the Jeeps with LED lights.....and Scotty with his BIG Ford Tractor and hay rake I got a real kick out of. I love that he takes time from farming, to decorate not only the tractor and rake, but a big hay wagon as well, and has his sister and neices and nephews and friends on board. Very good. Memories those children (and adults) will have for a lifetime.

























 I'll end with this one last shot. The "reason for the season". A-men.

  2. Such a creative town! Who says that the Festival of Lights is Deepavali in India? Sharon's got its own! My question is not why do they do it, but how? Generators? Big batteries? Thanks for sharing these pics! Happy Holidays to all Sharon-ites!

  3. This is a great tradition for Sharon to continue and so much fun for the community, friends, and family.
    The pic's were great and who knows, maybe Sharon can start the "The Festival of Lights"! We could invite neighboring towns join in or have their own Festival of Lights and meet somewhere in the middle for a Winter Carnival/Dance! This could be the start of something Big!!!

    Thanks, Sincerely, Diane L. Carr
