Lewisville’s 32nd Annual Christmas Parade
This friendly smile and those puppy dog eyes adorned Lewisville’s 32nd Annual Christmas Parade.
Memorable Moments
As stated in my previous blog post, Ho Ho Ho!, I made lots of photos of Lewisville’s 32nd Annual Christmas Parade (held on Sunday, December 11, 2016). Although it took longer than I’d hoped to process all the photos — I confess I’m a bit picky — they’re finally ready to be shared.
Fire vehicles and a marching band make their way through Lewisville as a child with a Santa cap rushes to pick up candy in the street.
I began photographing where the parade started, in front of Lewisville United Methodist Church, and I eventually made my way to Shallowford Square, where I remained until Santa Claus passed by.
While it’s true that I didn’t actually want to walk any further than that, I mainly realized that Shallowford Square, with its border of lighted trees, could provide a really nice photographic backdrop. But enough of this chatter — let’s get to the photos!
Below are just a few of the scenes from Lewisville’s Christmas Parade. A separate photo gallery contains a total of 68 photos. The LINK to the gallery is at the very end of this blog post. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Shalloween Festival
This rather eye-catching character was spotted having fun at Lewisville’s Shalloween Festival.
Who Goes There?
Shallowford Square was teeming with all kinds of costumed characters on Saturday, October 22, 2016, when the Town of Lewisville hosted its annual Shalloween Festival.
You name it, your favorite, or perhaps not-so-favorite, character could be seen roaming the Square, playing games and participating in arts and crafts projects.
In fact, everywhere one turned, there were superheroes, cartoon characters, princesses, ninjas, soldiers, pirates, sports stars, cuddly animals, dinosaurs, vampires, the walking dead and so many other interesting characters. One thing they all had in common — their treat bags were getting fuller by the minute with candy and prizes!
The Shalloween Festival wrapped up with an engaging performance by Mister Mike, a local comedy magician and juggler.

It’s a Jungle Out There
Tarzan faces the past and follows his heart.
Tarzan, the Stage Musical
On the evening of September 4, 2016, the night sky over Shallowford Square was filled with stars, while the intriguing, sometimes ominous sounds of the jungle echoed all around.
Indeed, danger, love and humor awaited audiences of all ages last weekend (September 2 – 4, 2016) when the Town of Lewisville presented Tarzan, the Stage Musical. If you missed the show — or if you’d like to see it again — Tarzan, the Stage Musical will return to Shallowford Square this coming weekend, September 9 – 11, 2016.
Bring a lawn chair or a blanket. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.

“CQ, CQ, CQ”

Forsyth Amateur Radio Club – Broadcasting Live
The Forsyth Amateur Radio Club broadcasted live from Lewisville’s 25th Anniversary Celebration on August 13, 2016.
Amateur radio, also known as ham radio, is a fascinating world of technology, social interaction and education. No Internet or cell tower connection is required to speak to people around the world — or across town.
When I visited the club’s tent that was set up along the perimeter of Shallowford Square, Terry Brown of Clemmons happened to be manning the radio. Terry allowed me to record an exchange between him and a local amateur radio operator.
