Imagine a Christmas parade. What comes to mind? Visions of sugar plums? Frosty? Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer?
Santa's helpers? The Grinch? Well, guess again. If you were in Madrid,
NM last Saturday night for the annual Christmas parade through town you would have been greeted by...Chicks with Chainsaws. The group performs
mostly at the Engine House Theater in Madrid. The performances are a
combination of dance, acrobatics, aerial performance and just plain havin' fun.
There
is a "pool" at the Mine Shaft Tavern, of course no betting allowed, on
just how long the parade will last. Times flying around generally are
seven to eight minutes. You do have to get it down to seconds, that
tightens up the odds a bit. If you missed the big event this year be
sure to put it on your calendar for next year on the first Saturday of
December around 4 pm.
People
in Madrid live outside the box. There is love, acceptance and a support
system. The common thread binding the village together is... "Just be
who you are”. Nancy and I are very excited to be part of the village.
Opened our new shop, RIDE NEW MEXICO, two weeks ago just south of the
Mine Shaft.
How
cool is that...if we weren't here we would have missed the Chicks with
Chainsaws. Better put that on your Christmas list for next year!
