4th of July Parade



For those of you who missed the famous Shady Side 4th of July Parade, here are a few highlights. I have several of the least painful pics I could find, so I'll make my comments brief.



Patriotic Rednecks








Homemade space car













Boy scouts















Uncle Sam lip synching to Ray Charles' "America the Beautiful" or whatever it's called, you know the song I mean.









duh, US Coast Guard (they had a cool dog too)














A woman exploiting her grandmotherly-ness. Shameful!














A wrecked taxi














Lame















Poetic















old truck and man














Scary (I think that's supposed to be Moses)













Churchy
















Nice













Fun












This float had great musicians playing bluegrass. As a bonus, you can see Jeff in the corner.














I was so afraid for these kids. I was sure one of them would fall and we'd have brain matter splashed all over the road.















Cubs, they weren't too lively, maybe due to the heat.















Don't know the story of this guy. I guess he's plugging the Ruitans.


















Little Miss Cedarhurst and her driver.

All in all, it was a pretty good parade. We got lots of candy, beads and water bottles thrown at us, but it was worth it.

I'm not sure I like the tone of your typing! You're starting to sound a little unpatriotic!

You dare question my patriotism???? I was just jealous because I didn't get to be in the parade this year.
