Illuminating the Holiday Spirit: Coburg Parade of Lights
Small blubs of light twinkled along the cold winter road at the annual Coburg Parade of Lights last night. With decorated floats created by the community in the holiday spirit, small town charm flourished as children chased after candy with their frozen little fingers.
From old fashion fire trucks, to buggies and a miniature pony, Christmas light strings, props and other decorations illuminated their shapes against the dark night sky as they followed the short parade route past shuttered antique stores and the community Grange.
Watching the parade with follow Eugene blogger @OneStepBigShot and friends, we took in the scene with irises wide to view the artful glow of the season.
