"It was great to meet so many community members at the Littlerock Christmas Parade this weekend!" he said, after driving by in a vintage Chevrolet convertible. "Events like this are such an important way for folks to come together and celebrate the holiday season. Thanks to everyone who took the time to say hello -- it's an honor to represent you all in Washington."
Assembly Member Juan Carrillo joined him.
"I had such a great time at the Littlerock Christmas Parade, seeing the kids smile, wave, and cheer as we passed by," he said. "Bringing families together and celebrating with our community is what this season is all about."
A number of local students joined the crowd. Pearblossom Elementary student Barbara "Nikhol" Vasquez, 13, enjoyed the superhero theme of the parade.
"I thought the parade was entertaining," she said. "I saw a lot of superheroes that I liked."
Others enjoyed the folklorico dancers.
Littlerock High School performed two breathtaking dances, and their teacher announced that they now had an official dance class at the school. Antelope Elementary also had the traditional dancers.
The Alpine Elementary School PTO announced from their entry they are posting new fundraisers for school repairs and yearend activities for the students doing online studies due to an electrical fire.
Towards the end of the parade, Stitch, dressed in a Santa outfit, jumped out of a truck to hug people. The final entry carried Santa Claus, pulled in a sleigh, waving to everyone.
