Reverse Raffle and Christmas Parade

On Friday evening I went to a Reverse Raffle hosted by the Rotary Club of Braselton. They host a big event with dinner and draw one ticket out at a time until only one is left. You have a one in four hundred chance of wining $10 000, and your ticked includes dinner. It was a very cool and interesting event to attend.

On Saturday morning I went to help set up for a Christmas parade. It was an early start, and I also thought it was on early in the year too, but they get more people out if it is before Thanksgiving. We helped register floats and vehicles and got them lined up ready to go.

There were marching bands, cheerleaders, Scouts, and dignitaries. One of the clever floats I saw was a waste disposal group which had rubbish trucks and all the people had Oscar the Grouch t-shirts on!

We also ended up riding in the car taking the Mayor around. There were so many people out, and there were about 50 groups in the parade. I thought it was a really big parade for a town smaller then the suburb back home.
