Two things this weekend: the Osbourn Eagles came up a little short against a really great team. I couldn’t make it to Blacksburg but in looking at the stats, it must have been a great game. Congratulations to the Coaches, Players and everyone else who produced a great season for us.
The other item was the arrival of Santa Claus on the VRE and the Christmas parade. Both events were well attended but I was worried on Friday night when I got there and the crowd was small. As it turns out, I was there early and it filled up rapidly after I arrived. After the Mayor and Santa spoke, I went into Old Town for dinner and had a tough time getting a table! Good news. The crowd for the parade was down a little bit from last year when the parade started but it filled up after awhile. Parades don’t really turn my crank but I was glad to see so many folks there!
