WHEW!
What a day! The weather people kept saying that it was going to rain, but it held out just in time.
It was overcast most of the day, and even tho I put some sunscreen on, I still got the back of my legs burned, shoulders and face. NICE!
Here are some pictures and a little video of the day. I'll post up some of Mike's pictures a little later in the thread.

This is a float that our late Sheriff Harry Lee always rode on. It is called "Harryleesiana" Even tho he has passed away, the tradition will continue.




Here are a few pictures of some of the floats:





OK, so I had a few....

Here are a few little videos. In one of them, I catch a "moonpie". It is a type of cookie with marshmello inside. In another, one of the trucks blows its horn. You can hear the yelling of "heeeeyyyyyy". I really don't know a single person who says "throw me something, mister". That just takes to long to say. So "heeeeeeyyyyyy" is your typical yell.

that looks like a fun day!!

I always search for candy floss when I see floats!

The only parade we still have is the 'Gay pride' parade. We did have a Caribbean carnival but that was canceled due to budget cuts 2 years ago.

Sarab, these are great pictures. Has the parade got its roots in the French past?

Yep, dweebie, I was wishing y'all with here with me too!

And, I have no idea who that is beside us sucking their faces off. Lovely.

Here are a few pictures from Mike's camera.
