Small Town Parade

Behind again! Sigh!
Hope all my US friends had a great Independence Day!
Our little town has fireworks on the evening of the 3rd and a parade on the 4th.
The parade is pretty much always the same - but comforting somehow - a tradition. Always lots of tractors, golf carts, and vintage cars. My hubby and I love it!
Off to bed - will post more and comment tomorrow.

I'm behind again, too. Let's not sweat it, OK?

Looks like a fun day and great insight to life in the USA

Superb

[Taffy]

Great fun!! It looks a little fancier than our Beaver Island one, but more alike than different. Small town parades are so much fun and so personal.

[Andrina]

Excellent shot Jan! This is so colourful and looks like so much fun :)

[Lisa]

Vibrant colors, and a classic small town Americana shot!
When is your son's wedding?

We have a Santa Parade before Christmas, too! I am so behind - with company from the UK coming on Saturday for two weeks and my son's wedding on the 19th, things are a bit crazy. I am taking pics and will catch up as I can. Thanks for the awesome support!
@nanalisarocks - Thanks Lisa - the 19th - in the evening. Bride and groom flying into Seattle from Kansas City of Friday - my sis and brother in law arrive on Saturday. Various friends/relatives arriving in trickles the remainder of the week. So much for a small quiet wedding - haha!

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Gorgeous shot! It's nice to see someone having a bit of pride and some decent clean fun into the bargain. I hope that you had a great time!

[Myrna O'Hara]

Ah, Americana at its best!! Love the red pop!

Great shot.
