The parade was supposed to start at 5:30, but because of threatening weather (I think) it started a little early, so I missed the first 3 or 4 entries. The buggy with the grand marshal had a special passenger, our great grand-daughter Haley, and I missed that photo op.
We also had two Riding Clubs represented, the Quanah Riding Club from Quanah, TX, and the Riding Club from Eldorado.
Many of the young folks decorated their bikes, and were cheered on the way by spectators.
There were some decorated floats, several ATV's, and more horse and wagon and buggies.
The local EMS was there with our ambulance, followed by one of the fire trucks.
We have several classic cars in our little town, and take pride in having them locally owned.

The rain held off til we were home. There was a local bluegrass band for entertainment, and I suspect they had to perform in the community building. Fire works were not rained out, like they were in parts of the country. It was a good day.
Patriotism lives in small places.
Love my country,
