here they come!

And here they come! It was a cloudy day, but we praised the Lord for that. It kept it from being unbearably hot for our parade participants. Not showing in this picture are the crowd of motorcycle participants who really led the pack and got the parade off to a rip-roaring start.

Martha and George
Our first political couple — Martha and George Washington — dropped by for the afternoon and seemed to enjoy themselves immensely!
Everyone is welcome to participate in the parade. All it takes is some red, white, and blue and a willingness to display your patriotism.

Even tiny tikes came for the fun

We the People

 

 

 

 

The various floats depicted the theme of the parade. One Nation Under God was the winner in 2007. This one featured George Washington and Benjamin Franklin standing at the table where the signing of the Constitution was taking place. Mr. Franklin was known to have a problem with gout, hence he often was hobbling along on with a crutch.

Several local residents brought their wagons, kids, horses, mules, flags, and an enthusiasm and love for their country — America, the Land of the Free!
