The 2011 Green Bay Thanksgiving Day Parade

Green Bay hosted a quite large and entertaining parade today to the enjoyment of it's citizens in the downtown area. One of the largest ccrowds ever showed to enjoy the parade floats from a local area business's, organizations and schools.  The parade was Broadcast live on MYNEW 32 and Re-broadcast on NBC 26.  Before the parade the public was invited to go over to to the YWCA Green Bay-De Pere for cookies and hot cocoa. After, head to The Daily Buzz Coffee Shop (130 E. Walnut) for free cookies and cocoa, pictures with Santa and a meet & greet wit the Door County Sled Dogs!  This years parade included marching bands, floats, special characters, a giant "Chilly Willy Penguin" balloon, Door County Sled Dogs and of course Santa on a custom horse drawn carriage.  It was nice to see large floats this again this year, along with a variety of animals.  Many also found it interesting to see an electric car as well.  Here are a few highlights. If you wish to purchase photos (I have close to 180 available) please contact me by leaving a comment on this post.
