2011 Glendora Christmas Parade
Okay, so when I was growing up in Glendora, it was a small, tigh-knit community of like 25,000 people or so. And the town would have these great events in "The Village" like the Flasback to the 50's sock hop and carnival, the Christmas Stroll and Christmas Parade, the Homecoming Parade, etc. You get the Idea. Almost the entire town turned out for these fun events and you were guaranteed to see friends and neighbors and school mates.
Today, I'm so glad to say, it's still the same. The population has more than doubled in size coming really close to 50,000 residents. There are people from every church, school, neighborhood, etc that come out and really make this town a community of friends and family even with the increase in size.
Over the years, the parade route has been extended to accomodate the increase in population and so there's a good area to meet after the parade. Now the route extends down Glendora Avenue from Bennett to Foothill, takes a right turn on Foothill a right on Grand and ends up over at La Fetra and Sandburg Middle School. But it still starts with the ever popular Glendora High Marching Tartan Band complete with bagpipes playing Scotland the Brave and ends with, you guessed it, Santa himself!
So if you're in the area this Saturday, December 10th, you should definitely attend the 2011 Glendora Christmas Parade. This year's theme is "An Old Fashioned Christmas" and the Motto of the parade itself is "All About Kids!"
