If you didn't grab a front row seat early on or couldn't sit on mom or dad's shoulder to watch Saturday's Whoville Christmas parade in downtown Enumclaw, chances were you had somewhat of an obstructed view.
That's how many people descended onto Cole Street on a surprisingly mild night - weather-wise to celebrate the start of the holiday season.
But we don't think many people minded - how could you not get into the Christmas spirit with the beautiful twinkling lights and smiles that crossed so many people's faces?!
The only Grinch we encountered was the green one riding on several floats during the parade.
Were you there? Post your photos to this gallery that we've started for this year's Christmas parade and share them with fellow Patch readers.
Media Bonus: Because of the Battle of the (School) Bands contest that was a part of this year's festivities, which was made possible by Enumclaw Self Storage, we grabbed some raw clips of Enumclaw, White River and Sumner High School bands doing their thing along the parade route and posted them onto the Enumclaw and Bonney Lake-Sumner Patch Facebook pages. Go and have a look-see. No word yet Saturday night who won the contest but we'll keep an eye out!
