Christmas Parade Rolls Through Enloe

The annual Enloe Christmas Parade rolled through town on a Saturday afternoon.  Approximately 25 entries entertained the crowd of spectators with two passes down Lexie Street, in front of the Clara Foster Slough Museum. A great time was had, as the festivities then moved to the Enloe Community Center, for a covered dish dinner.  After a Christmas story was read to the children, a surprise visitor made entrance, as Santa showed up to distribute some early presents to the kids !

Enloe Museum Expansion Underway

The expansion of the Clara Foster Slough Museum has now progressed from the planning stage into the construction phase.  The design and engineering team have completed the initial plans and are now erecting steel for the structure, which will extend the rear of the building.  Plans are to use the addition to improve and increase the display of military exhibits, and allow for the addition of a railroad exhibit !

Enloe Independence Day Celebration

The Enloe Independence Day Celebration was a great event this 2012 !   The parade featured approximately 50 entries and included many fine tractors, cars, trucks, horses and even a dragster !  After the parade, the Enloe Community Center played host to a great cookout with lots of delicious foods and desserts.  The Clara Foster Slough Museum saw quite a few visitors during the festivities, and entertained guests throughout the event.
