Festivals and Parades, in a small community, are an opportunity for everyone to get together and have fun. The banners in town have been flying for over a month, promoting this past week end.
By the time the parade started, the temperature was in the middle 90's. If there was a tree along the parade path, people gathered under the shade.
No parade is complete without a marching band...
The Shriner's, driving their famous small cars, are always fun to watch.
Clowns...is that a riding lawn mower? And, take a look at his hat by clicking on the photo....
Cowgirls and cowboys must be included in a Texas small town event.
And, of course, some horses.
There is always good support from our veterans.
The heritage of this community is Czech and German....so a Polka Club is a natural.
I don't know the significance of the mule drawn cart, but the animals were so magnificent, I couldn't resist showing them.
What wonderful spirit this small community of 2,500 has, to show up on a very hot morning and support the town parade....
