Alpha Dogs in the local Santa Claus Parade
06/12/14 - Recently, the city of Bolton had their annual Santa Claus Parade organized by the local kinsmen club. This year the Alpha Dogs were eager to be apart of the parade, so we signed up and were fortunate to have Sierra Excavating lend us a flat bed truck driven by Domenic Scrivo to use for our float. We decorated the float with all sorts of Christmas ornaments, trees and even went as far as to have our own Santa Claus on board. On parade day, members were up bright and early to participate in the parade As the parade went on, members waved to the crowd and gave out Alpha Dog tattoos to spread Christmas cheer. Overall, it was a great experience for all the members involved and we definitely plan on attending again next year!
