In Nevada, we celebrate our statehood by closing down for a day and having a big parade down Carson Street in Carson City. Back in the day, candy was just thrown, willy-nilly, from the walkers and float riders. In recent years, parade participants are not allowed to throw the candy, so everyone has to get up-close and personal. Lots of fun!
Our company’s Holiday Party is this Friday night. As a member of the events committee, I’m part of the planning and logistics. Today I worked on sticking labels on 375 tiny boxes of candy. One will be placed at each guest’s place setting. We are expecting 300 people to attend. The extras will go into Santa’s Workshop, a special room we set up every year for employees to wrap their holiday gifts for free.
