Another Parade Season Begins

[wesfrye53]

Today was the Al Menah Shrine's (Nashville, TN) annual trip to Erin, Tennessee where the celebrate St. Patrick's Day every year. It is usually the first Parade we participate in every year and everyone looks forward to it.

Here's a few pictures of the Shriner's lined up for the Parade:





This is actually a "licensed" vehicle. The owner, a member of our Temple, said it's hilarious watching folk's expressions as they drive down the road....they are sure they have seen and honest-to-goodness Tennessee HillbBilly!



Here is a vehicle one of our pilots (a member of the Flying Fez Club) drives in the Parades:



And here's some of the mini-Semi's that parade with us:



Our Clown bus drove the 60 some miles to Erin only to breakdown. This is what it looked like when they arrived and they actually paraded while being pulled by a tow truck! Typical Clowns!



Of course, we're not the only one's parading. here's some of the other participants waiting for the Parade to start:





And here are some shots along the Parade Route. The last one is just as I was passing the center of Erin. The tents you can see are food and vendor sites plus there's a carnial just out of view.







Hope I haven't bored you with my Day's activities!

The Shriners here do a great job in parades they dont have any thing except a few cars, but the Tulsa club comes they have a few more, I like some of the different things you've got!

I like seeing them all, have to tell kids to move back, or they wont be able to the cool stuff!
Then the parents get pi$$ed at ya but tough I like the neat stuff!
