Winter Carnival kicks off with weird, wonderful parade

From Bigfoot and Nessie to Angels aglow with brightly colored wigs and lights adorning their wings, the 50th iteration of the Winter Carnival parade was as weird as it was wonderful. About a dozen floats took part in the annual Winter Carnival parade, taking the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce up on its invitation to come "get lit" for the parade. Sponsored by Ting Internet, the Friday night parade kicks off the two-week festival and features a host of activities from family-friendly events like the parade to music concerts and everything in between.
