A Christmas Parade in Norco
"Merry Christmas" and "Throw me something, please" were the sounds of the day as floats, marching bands, horseback riders and area festival queens rode through the streets of Norco in the Norco Civic Association's Annual Christmas Parade. Motiva Norco was a major sponsor of the holiday event and some of Motiva's employees and their families took an active part by throwing out some great catches such as footballs, light-up bouncing balls, Frisbees, cups, and other goodies.
Here are a few comments from some of the lucky employees who got to share in the experience of the parade:
"I feel our participation in Norco's community Holiday celebration shows that our family of coworkers (Motiva & Shell) reside here too. Norco for most of us is our home away from home!" (Lynn Trent, Quality Measurements)
"Thank you for allowing my family and me to participate in the Norco Christmas Parade. We had lots of fun." (Paul Shirer, Central Shop)
Employees who rode in the parade were Frank Abbate, Mike Abbate, Dan Ebbert, Lynn Trent, Melissa Robert and Ranshawa Dumas.
Next year will be the 200th birthday of St. Charles Parish and its expected to be a very celebrated year in 2007 with the Christmas parade being the closing celebration. Look forward to seeing Motiva representing again next year!
