David, Shayna, and Caleb helped kick off the holiday season in Alexandria Saturday riding in Joe LaMountain’s classic Volkswagen Cabrio in the annual Scottish Christmas Walk Parade.
“The Scottish Walk is one of my favorite events of the season, and a wonderful way to come together as a community and kick off the holidays,” said David, who traces part of his family heritage to Scotland. “It’s especially meaningful because it highlights the important services the Campagna Center provides for our children and families.”
Alexandria’s Campagna Center provides a variety of quality educational and after care programs for children throughout the city.
The parade was one of several events that comprise the annual Alexandria Scottish Christmas Walk Weekend, hosted by the Campagna Center and the Saint Andrew’s Society of Washington, D.C. The Walk kicked off with the Society in the lead and featured Scottish military regiments, highlanders, school bands, citizen groups and associations, Scottish clan societies, floats filled with Campagna Center volunteers and children, the Lord Provost of Dundee (Alexandria’s Scottish sister city), and local and regional political leaders, who ride in vintage cars loaned by antique car club members.
The Walk is ranked by the Southeast Tourism Society as one of the top twenty events in the South.
