<DIV>Hi! This is Gramma Jo. As you probably know, I invented the Waddle so I've been to a lot of them. I'd never been to the one in Berea before. We usually go to the one in Charleston which is wonderful. We thought Berea would be cold this time of year and Berea was a small town so the parade would be kind of small. This year Melissa, Charlie and I went and let me tell you Berea is WONDERFUL!. The small city is lovely. The people are all friendly. As you go by in the parade they wave at you and yell "Merry Christmas." The parade itself is huge. We think there are a lot more entries than most of the Waddles we've been to. It is just the right length and it ends back where it starts! No shuttles. Plus, it's at night and everything is lit up including a lot of the bassets' collars and leashes. After the parade Berea has fireworks and lighting of their tree, a merry-go-round and Ferris wheel. </DIV>

<DIV>Marilyn Deucher does this Waddle mostly by herself! She has grown it a LOT but we think if she had more help this Waddle could be <U>HUGE</U>! We had a fantastic time. Thank you Marilyn! Next year all Droolers should attend.</DIV>
