Members and family of the Prattville Dragoons SCV Camp 1524 participated in the Prattville city Christmas parade on Friday night December 12th. That morning Camp 1524 members Larry Spears, Bill Myrick and Stuart Waldo met to decorate the trailer as the float for the entry including a tree and garland with lights and a display of historic flags including the Alabama Secession flag, Dragoons flag which is a swallowtail First National, an Alabama state flag and a Bonnie Blue. That evening, Camp 1524 Commander Grooms pulled the trailer with his truck and Treasurer Dennis and Comms Officer Davis carried the camp Christmas banner in front. Brigade Commander Waldo's family was in their Dodge Charger which had a couple of Betsy Ross flags flying from the back windows and an SCV logo license plate in front. Adjutant Butler brought his golf cart which he decorated with garland and lights and he was dressed in a period soldier's uniform. Quartermaster Myrick and Larry and Stuart walked along the trailer handing out candy including requisite candy canes to the thousands of parade spectators. Larry even made a fiend with Montgomery Biscuits mascot Big Mo. It is always a huge parade and a greatr Christmas event where the SCV and Camp 1524 can positively get out in front of their neighbors.
