Bringing up the rear... Horses, lots of horses... Why are they at the
back? Simple, so all the nicely decorated, cleaned and polished
vehicles that went before them don't wind up with horse dooky in their
wheel wells:-) They must've all received fire hose enemas before the
parade. Not one plop.

Motorized technology past and present... And old John Deere tractor and
one of the Baldwin racers.

This was the coolest float in the parade. I did not get a picture of
the veterans at the very beginning of the parade, my hands were busy
clapping as they marched by. But, I did grab a picture of these guys
with their reenacted pose of the Iwo Jima flag raising.

Yeah... If you know Crandon, at all, this makes total sense. Enuff said:)

And this one time, at band camp, they made us march in this parade, it
was soooooooo fun!! :)
Sammi is in there somewhere, she's wearing a big arrow hat! :-) I tried
to store this picture and get another picture, but, by the time my V400
was ready to shoot, they were a block away...

If you have a child under 10, this dude is probably your worst nightmare
at the parade. "Daddy, get me one of those." Over and over and over
and over again... Where do they come from? I didn't recognize any of
the guys pulling these wagons as locals, they had too many teeth:-) Do
they travel in a group and descend onto little towns with a parade? Are
they a nomadic sect of Carny Workers United that were too smart to put
together the rides? I looked for them after the parade, I wanted a
post-parade discount:-) Gone, not a trace, vanished into thin air...

Just some shots of the waiting crowd, if you can call it a crowd (haha),
and the first couple parade shots.

I tried to take this hot dog vendors picture with my camera phone from
across the street. I did get a much better picture with Michelle's
Rebel zoomed right in. I'll post that someday. He was serving up hot
dogs with a lit cigarette dangling from his lips. God only knows how
many ashes fell into the vat of hot dogs, but from his chain-smoking
habits, I would venture to guess quite a few. This, in and of itself,
was not what really sickened or amazed me. No, it was the fact that
people, seemingly normal people, were BUYING his dogs! Little kids with
parents stood by eagerly, while this dickhead pulled dogs from a vat,
wrestled open the bun with his tar laden fingers, and served one up for
their kids. Amazing! So, who's the bigger derelict?
