Cherry Fest Float Fun

Traverse City Christian Elementary students had a blast joining Prince Calvin Bevis and Princess Audrey Cooke for two unforgettable parades during this year’s Cherry Festival! The Community Royale Parade on July 3 and the Cherry Royale Parade on July 5 brought huge crowds lining the streets under beautiful, sunny skies. This year’s theme was “Christmas in July” and our float, “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer,” was a hit, thanks to the creativity and hard work of our amazing volunteers and float sponsors. The “Grandma Protection Squad” had a riot riding with friends, waving to the cheering crowds, and showing everyone how much they love their grandmas. A huge thank you to everyone whose labor and ingenuity made this adventure possible!
