Arvada Harvest Festival Parade

Every year, my church takes part in our town's fair. And, for the past three years, we've had a float in the parade. This year was definitely our best attempt. (I don't have any pictures of last year's but here are some from 2005: here, here and here.) The theme of the parade was "Let's Dance" and we decided to put an 80's spin on it. Our band (all members of our worship team) did some great 80's cover songs - including Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer," New Wave's "Video Killed the Radio Star," and Tiffany's "I Think We're Alone Now" among others. Plus, we had about 10 people dancing in front of and around the float, handing out candy. It was hilarous and wonderful and so fun!

I really hope that people saw the joy we carried - even as we looked ridiculous - and can attribute that joy to Jesus. We'll see...

But, here are some pictures:









The Float





Although I wore my hair like this back in the 80's, I'm certainly glad it's not so popular anymore! My friend Angie did a great job as Cyndi Lauper, didn't she?

Some of the groupies/dancers, Carrie and Christina.

Some of the guys in the band, Jon and Josh.

Wow...I think we pulled this off a little too well. Funny, though, huh? :)
