My first parade
« on: August 27, 2016, 01:16:40 pm »
It took me 36 years to see my first parade.  We didn't have any parades come down our dead end country road when I was growing up.  My daughter was in a pageant at a local festival so she was riding on a float.  I had a phone malfunction and didn't get a very good picture of her.  She is on the far left. 




I love hearing live bagpipes being played.




The Budweiser team was impressive to see.

You are going to have some explaining to do.  ;)  :)

Like I said, phone malfunction.  I tried getting more but I turned the camera off accidentally.  Her float was moving pretty fast.  The beer wagon stopped right in front of me for a while. 


And I've never drank a beer in my life.  I just thought it was a cool sight.

I was to.  No worries  :)


I was pretty aggravated about not getting a better picture of her.

Gosh, your first parade. That's hard to believe. I grew up in Savannah and went to catholic parochial schools and a catholic, military high school. Savannah has a big Irish community and every St. Patrick's Day there was a parade, one of the 4th biggest St Patty's celebration in the US. From the 6th grade through high school I marched every year. The last 5 in a wool, dress white military uniform with an M-1 Garrand on my shoulder(9.5#) for about 5 hours. Some years March is cool in Savannah but many years it could be in the 70s or even 80s.
 Glad you got to see a parade and especially since your daughter was in it.

I grew up in the sticks Pat.  First time I used a crosswalk with the light up guy telling you to walk or don't walk was on my senior trip in Orlando, Florida.  I live on the border of two counties and neither one had a traffic light until a couple of years ago. 

They had some old cars in the parade.  Next year I might see if I can find somebody with an old truck to pull my camper in the parade.

Glad you enjoyed the parade, growing up in a rodeo town I've seen them since i could walk and back then we only had one stop light

First parade. and seeing it as an adult. May have been a bit like being a kid again, but with a man's life experiences. Must have been cool!

First time I ever saw a parade was a few years ago myself, it was a Christmas parade. 

Talking about bagpipes, they had them at my mom's nursing home a week ago.  It was cool but they were playing them indoors, talk about loud.  several residents left the room shaking their heads and I had to plug my ears with kleenex

I grew up in Cody, Wyoming where they had a parade every night thru the summer for a rodeo they held for the tourists.  I rode in the parade every night thru the summer for several years when I was a kid.  They had a couple of events for us kids as well as all the events for the cowboys and girls.  Guess I always wanted to be a cowboy.  Joe

Lets get to the important stuff - Did you get any of the candy they threw to the crowd, or did the pesky children take it all?
