• Glow Parade 2019

THAT. WAS. FUN!!!
You may be asking, "What's a glow parade?"

That's what I was asking most of the week leading up to it... but thanks to Heather Donovan and family (the ones who put this all together) I found out it was a fun walk around the neighborhood, in the cool evening air, adorned with glow sticks, as bicyclists lap you a couple of times before the end. ☺
I'm never that good at estimating crowds, but I'm thinking there were more than 50 people that came to participate, and several were in their yards, waving hello, as we walked past them.

Great event flyer.
I hear that this part of Windsong is lights out at Halloween... with a great haunted house. 

That's only 83 days away!

Below are some of the photos. It was good to get a chance to meet more fellow Wildomartinis (Wild-Omarians for others)
The crowd began to arrive a little after 7:30pm.
There were many creative ways glow sticks were fashioned together. 
On the first part of the loop.
I could tell that the bike riders were having a lot of fun.
A lot of caution was being exercised by the participants.
Decorating was a big part of the event.
That's a glow in the dark beach ball being tossed into the air.

A good neighbor is a fellow who smiles at you over the back fence, but doesn't climb over it.

Wildomar Rap never tries to climb over your fence, and wouldn't be in a position to smile at you from the other side in the first place.

  1. Like your selfie. Wonder if this caused some firecracker sounds in my neck of the woods? Looks like everyone had fun.

    1. Someone was shooting off fireworks as we were passing by. Then I saw a skyrocket once we got back to the start point. It seemed like it could have been coming from the far end of Twinflower, but there was no real way to tell.

  2. Shout out to all the parents who helped with snack donations, crowd control and traffic safety. You guys are Rock Stars!
