Fresh from their appearance at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, the Express Personnel Clydesdales will lead hundreds of horses and riders in Lawrence's 15th-Annual Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade today. Beginning at 11 a.m. at Seventh Street, horses and various horse-drawn rigs will travel down tree-lined Massachusetts to 12th Street. "It's very well-attended, and everyone makes a real effort to be costumed in appropriate attire," says Jane Pennington, director of Downtown Lawrence Inc. "Everyone will be in Victorian or Western [dress] or some semblance of both." The parade also includes the Saddle and Sirloin Club Riders of Kansas City, the Wild Women of the Frontier, a mounted color guard from Fort Riley, and Santa Claus. Following the parade, an open house at the Douglas County 4-H Fairgrounds (2120 Harper) will display the types of transportation used in Lawrence's early days — stagecoaches, sleighs, carts, wagons and, of course, horses.
