Our club participated in the July 4, 2013 parade at Diamond Point (west of Blyn). One of our club members, Paul, lives there and we met at his home to decorate our cars with flags and tinsel. Six Bugs and one Rabbit pick-up participated. We then cruised down the hill to the parade staging area near the lagoon. When the parade started, five planes flew in formation over the parade route. A fire engine and an aid car from Fire Station #3 lead the parade. In addition to our club, there was a decorated sailboat being towed, some small floats and various cars. One of our members, Susi, dressed as a clown and gave away chocolate Kisses. Neighbors lined the parade route and some gave out sno-cones, home baked cookies, and salt-water taffy. I've never seen so many dogs - both dressed-up in the parade and with the spectators! One big dog was wearing a dress. She knew she looked good because she was walking so proudly! After the parade, we cruised back to Paul's house and enjoyed a picnic of pizza, pasta and potato salads, smoked oysters, beer and Mimosas. It was a wonderful day with great friends. Thank you, Paul, for hosting a terrific party!
