2009 Christmas Parade
November 21, 2009
Over 100 friends, family and clients (not counting kids!) gathered at our office over the weekend for the 65th-annual Raleigh Christmas Parade. Raleigh's annual holiday parade is the largest between DC and Atlanta (kudos to our friend Gene for the stat!) and this year nearly 60,000 people turned out for the floats, marching bands and a Santa Claus finale. Our corner location provides an ideal location to view the parade in comfort on what usually turns out to be a chilly winter day...though we were fortunate to have beautiful weather this year!
