The now world-famous Orenco Christmas Parade starts its run tonight around 7 PM, and this event is fun for all. To enjoy seeing Orenco locals in lawn tractors, boats, tractors, and all sorts of floats float through the Orenco area, all you have to do is show up! Many locals decorate various floats each year and take them to the parade route after dark. You can enjoy it all by parking along the parade route and watching them go by! It is all in good fun, and many people now ride bikes with the floats, and some even jog along and catch the thousands of parade watchers who are beaming with joy. Here is the 411 from Ron and Pam Bulmann of Old Orenco, who founded the parade many, many years ago.
