Roads closed for Clayton Parade

Does anyone know where I can find a map online of what roads are closed today and of the parade route? I have looked on every Clayton website I can find and no luck.

 

parade is down main street starting about smith street to Moore street, lineup starts at 1:00 but not sure when they will close road down.

 

TY

 

If I understood right, one of our own will be at the parade with marty the on man party from QDR.

Hope I can finially meet dangerboy and thank him in person for getting me the audio for my son't soldier salute!

 

we'll be there. marty is on his way back from chapel hill to get me and mav jr to go line up....

(by the way, that's 3 of our own. we live in clayton, too. this will be marty's first clayton parade. i think it's my 4th...)

 

That's awesome! I hate I missed the parade (although I've never been...) but my son has 2 soccer games, at 1 and 2 today, and my other one went with him and dad. I stayed home with the cranky 3 yo...I would like to meet dangerboy as well. And Marty, love me some QDR!!!

 

my Goodness thats the longest parade clayton has ever had i left after the riccobeane float kids getting anxious and all but there was a huge gap there so couldnt even see what was next.

 

Maybe it was long because the Smithfield Christmas Parade was cancelled 2 days ago and was not being rescheduled?

 

I did see you driving. It took me about 45 minutes to find a place to park! My gosh, I have not seen so many cars there at the parade. When I finially found a place the parade had already started and by the time I got up to main street, the Clayton Band was playing. Then because I was in such a hurry, I ended up leaving the dang camera in the car!!!! I can't believe that Marty did not have any jacket on.


I do agree the parade was long and there were a lot of gaps at times. I had my puppy with me because I am trying to get her to be a little more socialble (sp) and not so scared of things. She was nervous at the start and then the she realized that she could get lots of attention and was wanting to get petted. There were a couple of little kids that were more interested in playing with Starr than watching the parade. Yep, if you couldn't tell, it was just me and the dog there. I had Starrs pink sweater on and her Christmas scarf. I enjoyed the parade even though I had to go by myself and feel like I walked a mile to get to main street. LOL

 

Clayton has one of the best parades in the area. Sorry I had to miss it this year.

 

Very close to Riccobene's float was the Helping Hands Mission. We left after our kids got their toothbrushes. (LOVED that rather than candy!!!)

 

Anyone see us at the parade on the "cit florist" mules and carriage?

man, we had so much fun doing that this year...

 

DS & I were in the parade too w/ the SCOUTS.

A big Yahoooo to all the Scout troops that were part of the parade.

(Boys & Girls!)
+ Parents.

It felt liek we started in Smithfield & went to Garner then WALKED the entire way back...

We did get to see the super fancy big Cat loader die, get worked on & then finally drive off. DS loved that show.

 

yea thats when we left i never saw the helping hands mission behind riccobeane LOLi dont know where they were

 

we were down there near that... we thought that was funny

 

awesome looking set-up.... beautiful carriage.

 

:iagree:

 

I was there and didn't realize that so many of my 4042 peeps were in the parade! I saw Marty and had no idea that DB was driving him. Sorry I missed a chance to shout out to you DB.

T4T, I LOVED the mules and carraige. Absolutely beautiful.

My favorite band was of course WJHS. A close second was the Helping Hand band. I get so tickled watching them perform. I've promised myself that next year I'm gonna join their band! They don't seem to mind having big girls march with them :lol:

 

I hate i missed them I always enjoy them but there was to long a gap and my kids were getting impatient as it was .

 

I hate that I missed seeing db. Been wondering what he looks like, age, etc.

No, db...I actually think alot of you and wish I could have made it and hollered out at ya' (it would have been nice). :lol:

Happy holidays,
Sherry
