The Kannonball Rally

We received some sad news yesterday. David Barber passed away peaceful at his home yesterday after a long, strong fight against cancer.

We enjoyed our time with you, and thanks for being a part of our journey to help others.

Rest in peace, David. Prayers to your family and friends whose lives you touched the most.

🙏

Thanks to KSTP-TV for covering our event last weekend for our little friends at M Health Fairview Pediatrics! We had almost 50 decorated cars in our parade this year. Thanks to everyone that donated toys, decorated their cars, or simply gave us a wave/honk along the way.

After the Masonic children's hospital, we visited Children's Minnesota, then headed west to spread holiday cheer to some of our older friends at Deephaven Woods Senior Living, The Waters of Excelsior, and Shorewood Landing.

We had a very special group join us this year too. D.O.D.S. (Dads of Down Syndrome) joined us with some decorated cars and toy donations. Lead by Jacob, Kara, and LEVI Esser!

2026 will be our 10th year the Kannonball Rally Holiday Lights Parade! It's open to the public, everyone is welcome, and it's going to be a huge event, so stay tuned...

Special thanks to Creative Color Studio, StormKing Brewpub & Barbecue, Canteen One in the North Loop, Gina Carlson for the police es**rt, Alexander Tang, Nickolas Mosser, Deanna Mosser, Scott Bancroft, Tayva Lenneman Bancroft, Erin Ruehle Schmidtke and last but not least, Kyle Christopherson (and Crosby & Harper)!
Thanks again, and cheers to a wonderful holiday season!
