LIGHTED PARADE BRAVES FREEZING COLD
Despite frigid cold conditions, Friday night’s Brenham Christmas Stroll Lighted Parade turned out to be a big success.
Hundreds of people—many bundled up in their warmest winter gear—lined the downtown streets Friday night for the annual event.
Brenham city staffers decided earlier in the day to go ahead with the parade—which included a much smaller number of entries.
Originally there were 83 entries, but that was whittled to less than 40 with many churches and schools choosing not to participate in the weather conditions.
Other weekend Stroll festivities are being be held as scheduled.
However, the city has cancelled the Pet Parade, which had been scheduled for Saturday.

Parade’s weather was cold, but the people made it warm with their smiles.
I am shocked that so many people thought the parade should have been cancelled. Its DECEMBER and it is a CHRISTMAS parade! I suppose everyone who lives up north in colder climates should just sit inside for months at a time due to cold weather so as not to put their health at risk? Ridiculous. Being cold doesn’t make a person sick.
With the wind chill freezing, why would anyone want to put health/well being at risk!
Just saying !
Looks like the kids are smiling to me. Nice to have a Christmas stroll, with Christmas weather!
It has been brought to my wife’s attention from her boss that some one with our same last name made or may have made a negative type comment on the parade. I would like to make it clear that the comment was not made by myself Matthew Macat or from my wife Casey Macat. Our children were scheduled to be in the parade with Our church St. Paul’s but with weather conditions our school/church opted out. Thanks.
