D&D Stamps
If you have been playing D&D for a long time, you remember when players were considered the "weird ones" in the community. Now, the game has gone so mainstream that the USPS is releasing a series of stamps honoring the 50th anniversary of its release.

Lights Fantastic
Parade got over suprizingly quickly this year and crowds did not appear as heavy as in past years. Everything was cleared out by a bit after 8 p.m. I did hear preliminary attendance figures were 20,000 attendees, making it the largest crowd in years.
We normally make the store bathrooms available to parade atendees and usually have a dozen or so people take advantage of the offer. This year only 2-3 did. People did get an early start on the Cookie Walk as we had people stopping by storly after three. We did have plenty of cookies and cider left over as I heard a couple of other locations did as well.
