The Grand Parade

Another Grand Parade is history....and was it ever hot!!
Kof C having their BBQ stand....always get a hamburger there!
This area is now at the end of the parade, so is not quite as packed with people.
That, and it was sooo hot in the sun!
Selling homemade jelly for a scholarship fund...
The beginning of the parade...
WWI memorial watches another parade. I stood in the shade of the WWII memorial.

Part of the crowd on the West side of the courthouse.
Pretty sure they didn't sell any sleds or snow toy things today....
Nice stand giving away ice cold drinks and free hot dogs...
Here it comes!
Baby Emily pretty much slept through the whole thing...what a sweetie!
Tyler and his Daddy...
Gary on a cool old tractor.
Not a great picture, but was a really neat float...from the Catholic School...
My three favorite girls!
Traffic on 63 afterwards...Some going to the Mizzou game (see the tail?) and some
heading to the river...
Traffic backed up to the old MFA, but really moved pretty quickly..
It was a good time......annual small town parade....Oh, and there was an Eagle that flew over our end of the parade route...first time I have seen that!
