I am taking a break from making out my annual gift list (for myself) to wish you all a Blessed Christmas, and to tell you about a big event coming up this Saturday. Many of you saw the pictures on Facebook of the MSR float at the Escalon parade last Saturday. Many in the crowd were impressed by its colorful lights, active nativity scene, and the live angel floating above the festivities. The mini horses got to march in the procession as well.
If you missed the show last week, you will have another chance this Saturday (December 14) in Riverbank at 5:30pm. Mercy Spring Ranch will participate with the same cast of characters. I thought of marching as well, but my agent felt that my presence in the parade would take too much attention away from the holiday festivities. That always happens when a celebrity crashes a party, and the event becomes all about them. People don’t realize that this is the high price of fame and sacrifice that I must endure in order for community events to run smoothly.
I hope you can come on out this Saturday to cheer on the MSR team (as well as the other floats). It should be a wonderful day.
Happy Trails,
Gimli December 10, 2024
