Remembering the Wheatland Christmas parade with the pictures

Posted

Wyoming’s High School Rodeo queen who is a senior at Wheatland High School was the parade’s flag bearer and she had her famous paint decorated and lit up with Christmas lights.

Just when you thought it was all Christmas cheer, the Grinch came out of nowhere riding on a very large motorcycle. He did let his kids throw candy to the kids though.

The newly elected PCHA queen Kaylee Rasnake waved to the crowd as she has one more month before beginning her reign of royalty.

One of the most innovative floats in the parade was a large cement mixer that had been wrapped like a Christmas present and driven by Erin Hale. She had her sister, Autumn Read ride the front bumper and throw out candy.  

The Wheatland parade and most of the town headed down to the library where all the commercial lawn ornaments were lit for the holiday season. According to one of the parade organizers Ruth Herdt, “Third place was Donnie Parkin and family on his 1976 Corvair Trike. Second place was Hoffman Custom Construction with "Santa's Sleigh.” First place was Michelle Hernandez and family with a truck load of fun and love. We had 14 beautiful entries.”
