Conversations drifted to tragedy in Connecticut, but the holiday season’s 25th annual Toy Parade went on as scheduled at the Spruce Creek Fly-In community in Florida. The parade boasted an ingeniously decorated Cub, Cherokee and Waco, the latter owned by 2012 Grand Marshalls Pat and Lenny Ohlsson, long-time real estate gurus (pictured below)
Spruce Creek’s spirited retirees and tinkerers presented “The Creekettes” reindeer herd, the ladies formation golf cart team and the world’s only “jet-propelled” Christmas tree (complete with authentic sound and starting smoke.)
All this was a tonic for the kids and grandkids of the “adults at play” who make Spruce Creek special.
