The Rural Voice, 1999-12, Page 19while they laughingly bestowed
seasonal greetings to the crowd.
The excitement and appreciation
shown after the first parade was
enough to encourage the March Blahs
group to make their event a yearly
tradition. Committee members work
as a tireless team and are immensely
pleased with the sheer joy the
extravaganza brings. Thursday.
December 9, 1999 at 7:00 p.m. will
be the seventh annual exposure in
Rockwood, when they hope to top the
12,000 -plus onlookers of the previous
year.
Entry is by invitation only, and
no advertising or fundraising is
allowed with the Farmers'
Parade of Lights. This is one event
that's strictly for fun.
Bev and Art Davis, who play Mr.
and Mrs. Claus each year, are
This is one event that's

enthusiastic about the reception the
parade gets.
"You know, the most amazing
moment for me is when we are all
lined up at the farm, and the floats
begin to make their way down the hill
toward the road," Bev remarks. "The
entire parade is spread out before us
in the dark, and they make an
incredible spectacle, with lights
glowing and carols being played. It's
truly a magical moment."
On a snowy evening before
Christmas, there's no better way to
enjoy town and country camaraderie
than by the glow of lights, the sound
of carols and the sight of Mr. and
Mrs. Claus on their combine,
cheerfully waving to an enthusiastic
crowd.0
