While most people were basking in the warm winter evening during the Greening of Coupeville Saturday, it caused a bit of an issue for one Greening regular.

As Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard made her way down the parade route on foot in her fluffy white snowman costume, she started to overheat.

Conard said she made it to just in front of Whidbey General Hospital before she had to pull off the parade route because she thought she might pass out.

Rather than drop out, Conard made a split-second decision, hopping in the back of the wagon her husband was pulling with a John Deere tractor.

Frosty made it through the parade after all.

Other entries from various businesses and community organizations continued down the parade route, delighting the crowds with candy, performances and song.

Santa, AKA Paul Messner, brought up the rear of the parade in his lighted sleigh.

After the parade, carolers entertained the masses from the porch of Anchorage Inn, singing classics and variations of classics like a Coupeville version of “Let It Snow” changed to “Let It Blow.”

As darkness descended, Cook’s Corner Park came alive with thousands of twinkling lights.

After the customary “oohs” and “awws” crowds made their way down to Coupeville Wharf.

The Oak Harbor Yacht Club sailed by as part of its Lighted Boat Parade.

Boats cruised by as passengers waved, played music and interacted with the crowds on the wharf.
