Leiper’s Fork Does a Christmas Parade like No One Else

They have set the bar high as far as Christmas Parades that are for the unusual, the different and the common. They are all celebrated in Leiper’s Fork. I guess that’s why I keep going to them. They give a photographer like me something to shoot. Just go back to my previous posts covering Leiper’s Fork (December 26, 2012 – Nothing Like a Leiper’s Fork Parade and December 20, 2013 – Leiper’s Fork Christmas Parade with a Squeal). Yes, they say, “The Leiper’s Fork Christmas Parade is ‘Almost World-Famous.’” And it’s true.
