Monterey Sports Center Entry
Micheal Becker PG Chamber President and company wave to the crowd
P.G's Parade of Lights was an old fashion fun time for all!
Nice to see many of the restaurants and shops decked out for the holidays.
The Red House Cafe has done an exceptional job.
Pacific Thai not only looks good at night but was bustling with diners.
The Hart Mansion is stunning this season..especially with their inside lights on.
One of the last entries was Pet Extreme...we were not sure if they were going to able to make the turn.
Challenging lighting conditions...low light and everything is moving.
If you were there you were treated to a beautiful show.
A small town kind of thing!
Pretty sure this was the entry from the Waste Management
Members of the PG City Council.. Looks Like Ken Cuneo, Alan Cohen, Rudy Fisher, Robert Huit, Casey Lucius and of course Thomas Frutchey our City Manager. Pretty blurry may have been others
Wow! Chatterbaux went all out and had probably the best float! Nice job Alexsandraand company!
