Two Saturdays after Thanks-giving at 11am, Main Street is the place to be. The Highlands Christmas Parade has some of the best floats you'll ever see in a small town event like this. My favorite is the campsite near a waterfall shown here, but there were also live camels, a walking porta-potty, three colorful male senior-citizen toothfairies with tutus and giant toothbrushes, fabulous vintage autos decorated for the holidays, dogs, horses, and of course, Mr. & Mrs. Claus. My nieces Lauren & Peyton were visiting and the highlight for Peyton was the Toys for Tots float that gave out large Shrek dolls. After it was over, we all came back to the Inn for Peanut Butter Brownies and Hot Chocolate. Try these at home!
