CANCELED Temple Christmas Parade

The scheduled participation of TEDTEA in the Temple Christmas parade has been canceled due to lack of participation by club members. We do not have the minimum required float walkers and riders that the City of Temple requires.

Thank you to the folks that did volunteer to participate, maybe we can try again next year.
