Members of the Prattville Dragoons braves temperatures in the 30s on Friday night to man the SCV Camp 1524 float for the Prattville city Christmas parade. Members gathered on Friday morning in similarly chilly temperatures to decorate the float which consisted of a tree with lights and tinsel garland wrapped around it. A garland of greenery and lights with big red bows was attached to the outside frame of the trailer. And at the front was a display of historic flags including the Bonnie Blue, the Dragoons regimental flag, the Alabama Secession flag and the Alabama state flag. The theme of the parade was Stars on Prattville so the stars on the flags as well as a string of star lights for the tree helped keep the float in concert with the motif. Candy was tossed to the children spectating all along the parade route which started on Court Street and then circled about on numerous streets downtown before returning to Main Street and back to Court Street to finish. Members helping with the decorating included Quartermaster Bill Myrick, Comms Officer Doug Butler, Adjutant Wayne Sutherland, Color Sgt John Dennis, Brigade Commander Waldo, and compatriot Rob Schwartz. For the parade, the camp's Christmas banner was affixed to the flagpoles for everyone to see the season's greeting. Members participating in the parade Friday night included Commander Grooms, Comms Ofc Butler, Quartermaster Myrick and compatriot Schwartz.
