"I'm very happy with the turnout," Atherton said.

He was also grateful for the perfect parade weather.

"God gave us a nice day," he said.

In total, the roughly two-hour long parade featured 159 entries. Though Atherton will likely take a few days to reflect on the success of this year's parade, his thoughts will soon turn to next year's event.

"Every year I strive to make it bigger and better, so the mind will start working in a couple of weeks for next year," he explained.
