Another hot and fun little event!
Every year, the club tries to make the annual McDade parade.
Danny, Herb and I trailered our vehicles (M151A2/M416, GPW, M38A1)
and Claude and Jeanne drove the WWII Ambulance. We found a
nice shade tree and set up shop waiting on the judges to make
their rounds. As usual, I had to 'schmooze' them by striking
up conversation about being privately owned, the national club,
local chapter etc. It paid off as we won a few ribbons for
best vehicle group.
Once the judging was over, Herb broke out some of his radio
gear and we played with it for a bit. Then, the gals from
Hearts And Hooves came over with their little horses. We all
were treated to their program and what they do. Check 'em
out at: http://heartsandhooves.org
The parade started promptly and we were off to a great wait!
However, the parade finally started moving on our end and we made
it through the little town. The crowd was great with
everyone waving and we had a pretty good turn-out with four
vehicles.
Count on this one next year.
