Photos: Lynden’s Lighted Christmas Parade 2015
The 25th Annual Lighted Christmas Parade this last weekend lit up thousands of smiles!
From Fairway Center down Front Street through Downtown Lynden, more than 40 well-lit floats including everything from classic tractors to modern farming equipment, ATVs to horse-drawn carriages, passed thousands of onlookers on Saturday evening, December 5th. Light rain and relatively warm temperatures (compared to past years) provided a great setting for this year’s parade, sponsored by Edaleen Dairy and put on by the Lynden Chamber of Commerce.
HOEK Photography of Lynden provided us lots of great parade pictures to enjoy! While every float isn’t included, these twenty pictures provide a wonderful glimpse into the evening. Click the gallery pictures below and arrow through them to enjoy! (Then, continue reading for a bit more story).

As always, Lynden Police Department cleared the way for the Lighted Christmas Parade with their bright red and blue!

Bedlington's "Powered by Potatoes": as always, many floats reflect our strong agricultural heritage.

The Lynden Christian 2015 Volleyball State Champions rode through town on this great float. Good work ladies!

Several classic fire trucks lit up the faces of adults and children in this year's parade, like years past.

A few horse-drawn carriages were sure to please the pony-loving young girls and their families as well.

As always, LTI pleased with their amazing tanker truck, built right here in town, winning "Best Commercial Entry".

Santa appears to have gotten stuck in the chimney on the LTI milk tank -- or perhaps he's just getting his fill of milk!

"Big green tractors" have a rich history in this town, and have been a part of this parade for countless years.
