The Collierville, Tennessee parade was held Friday, December 5, 2008.
The Memphis Unicycle Club had 17 unicycle riders Friday evening. The weather was clear but very cold. Fortunatley, the wind was not blowing so the frigid temperatures were tolerable. Unfortunately, we did not get many photos from the Friday evening parade. Participants ranged from 6-year veterans to a couple of riders who visited MUC for the first time just the night before the parade.

The Germantown, Tennessee parade was held Saturday, December 6, 2008.
Even though the Saturday group was smaller than the night before, they put on an incredible demonstration of one-foot riding, wheel-walking, seat dragging and standup wheel walking.
Part of being in a parade is waiting for it to start. Here, Carl and Duke are waiting.
