He's Alive!...and living in Millersville, Tennessee

Yessiree folks!

Elvis is alive and living in Millersville, Tennessee. Here's the proof; taken as we prepared for one of two parades today (Not sure who the overweight Shriner is with him):

We did the first parade at the Millersville Bluegrass Jamboree. Here's a few of the players (the two little girls):

And here's some of the Shriners waiting for the parade to start. Trust me when I say that even though it looks like a cluster...., when the parade starts everything falls in line.

Next we went to Portland, Tennessee where they were holding their annual Strawberry Festival. At one time Portland was known as the "Strawberry Capital of the World"! It's still a pretty big affair. Here's a float with the "Strawberry Queens". They have various categories and if you look real close you'll see a young "Strawberry King" in the front.

As you can see from this picture, there was a large crowd and it was pretty much that way for the mile the parade ran:

And here's a shot of the Al Menah Shriners in the Parade. If you look really close and squint your eyes just right, you can see the motorcyles in the distance:

Wes those pics are great!

Of course I love the mini-choppers... way too fun.

Don't they let that "red corvette" run in the parade?

You guys (Shriners) do such great work... Thank you.

Great post Wes, rumor has it there was a bearded Shriner riding on the Portland float! :angel12:

Jim,

I have driven it in a few parades. The problem I run into is that will overheat if the parade is moving slowly; such as the second one today. They didn't design them for parades. There is an auxilary electric fan system I can install but I need to take care of a few other things before I worry about putting in the extra fan.

Thanks for looking and your comments.

Don, if I were 30 years younger the rumour might be correct! :tongue3:

Alas, I hung my head in frustration and proceeded to my normal job of driving the van. :sad10: :crybaby2:
 

Re: He's Alive!...and living in Millersville, Tennessee

Yes he is Wes....looks a little older than when I saw him in "86. This guy dressed like Elvis came up to me and asked if he could go see "Johnny" when I was working with Mr. Cash. He got a little upset that I would not let him go see "Johnny" :tongue3:
 

Re: He's Alive!...and living in Millersville, Tennessee

Does that infer you spent some time in Nashville? If so, where were you when Barry Gibb bought and burned down "Mr. Cash's" house? ;D

Never been to Tennesse, was working with Mr. Cash ( I have alot of respect for him) when he did his Oregon run in '86. What else do you expect from a guy who plays disco....upset me when I heard that the house burnt down

Well, I hear he can be somewhat mischevious and has a liking for fried catfish. :icon_scratch: Which may explain the need to go on a diet! :'(
