boat parade free santa pictures

2009-12-10T17:42:00.000-08:00

so there is a boat parade that goes from the cable bridge down towards Howard Ammon Park in Richland. the boats all have lights on them and its Saturday night starting at 6. I called in about it and they recommend any ofthe parks along the columbia or the restaurants which I think would be prime if you want to stay warm. ALSO Goodwill has free santa pictures on sat the 19th, and you can come pick them up on the 21st. the Goodwill on Wellsian Way in Richland. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
