The 2002 Driftwood Heritage Days Parade was an absolute success with three LS-MVPA vehicles participating on short notice.  John K brought in his '45 MB, Lewis S drove his '52 M38A1 from Wimberley and I drove my '53 M38A1 in from Austin.

We all met at the designated staging area at the intersection of Hwy 150 and Camp Ben McCullough road just past the world-famous Salt Lick BBQ joint.  There, we were met with great enthusiasm and were then directed to line up along Hwy 150.  After a short wait and lots of traffic, the parade promptly began about 5 minutes late.

We drove the short 1/2 mile into the metropolis of Driftwood and quickly completed the 200 yard parade in short order.  There were approximately 200 people in attendance lining both sides of the road collecting the candy that was thrown from entries in the parade.  The parade was well attended by many politicians, the fire department, PEC, several churches, the Shriners, the "Tin Lizzies" with their Model T's and other entries as well.

Afterwards, Lewis headed home and John and I parked the jeeps and headed to the small 'festival' where there were many vendors set-up to sell cakes, cookies and baked goods.  The Hays County Sheriff department also had two of their restored patrol units on display.  (see pictures)

After a short walk through the arts and crafts area, we decided it was time to head home.  Fun - you bet.  Short - yep!  Next year?  For Sure.
