Last night I decided not to be a wimp, got myself together, and walked three blocks to check out the Kona Christmas Parade. It was better in years past. But then again, so was I.
The water catchment tank was my favorite float. And no—this is not for livestock but for your own home water supply. Not everyone is connected to municipal water. It could be as high as 30% of homes. When Carlton and I worked at Volcano National Park in the 90s, we had catchment water too.
Here is a little quick-and-dirty two-minute video of the jeeps. They are a relatively recent addition to our little parade.
