In 2020, many of our traditional Christmas events have been cancelled or greatly reduced in scope. Even so, we are thankful for what we have and thankful we are still here to have it. But…we’re human and we miss what we had in the past.
Today we’re going to take a trip back in time to December of 1978 and the St. Paul Christmas parade of that year. Those were good times, as you can see. And we’ll have good times again after the current health crisis is over.
If you see yourself or a family member in these photos, leave a comment on this page so others will know, too.
Enjoy!
That’s all folks….almost
Where horses go, a shovel must follow. This is why the marching bands always precede the horse in Christmas parades.
Thank you Jerry! I always love your “reach back in history” articles! Miss my Town! Thank you and Merry Christmas🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for sharing
My late cousin Karen Long Stewart was Miss St. Paul in 1978, she is riding the corvette driven by Dave Glass
Thank you so much for sharing!! Wonderful memories of watching and participating in the St. Paul Christmas parade.
Love this are you showing more?
Yes, we plan to do so.
I see my uncle Howard Hamilton’s ’32 Chevy. I remember riding in the rumble seat when I was a little boy. It was a beautiful old car.
