The area high school bands were practicing on 8th before marching down the famed 7th Ave. The colorful floats including an Ybor Diversity float and the Tampa antique fire truck with the Tampa Fire Rescue Chief Thomas Forward were all aligned for the Snow on 7th Parade. City officials including Mayor Bob Buckhorn and family, Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor, Tampa City Council members Mike Suarez, Charlie Miranda, Yolie Capin, Harry Cohen and Lisa Montelione were all sitting in colorful convertibles. And of course the evenings star celebrities, Santa & Mrs Claus.
The streets were aligned with families and visiting friends to enjoy the cool clear night and the snow that was being made all along 7th Ave. A great time for memorable Holiday cheer.
