4th of July Parade! Delano, Minnesota

Happy 4th of July!!! Today I attended the Delano parade which is the largest parade in Minnesota. My parents flew in from Boston, MA. for the week and I was so happy that they could experience this along with me and my husband. My drivers (Dick & Shirley) brought an umbrella for me to use because it was in the high 80's and very humid. They have done numerous parades before and Shirley said they have learned to bring one when it's more than 80 degrees. I was float#47 out of 125 and I couldn't believe how many people were actually there. Some said their were around 20,000 spectators. Shirley mentioned that many people reserve their spot days in advance by placing their chairs and signs with their names on them. We drove into downtown and past the Delano carnival, and it was a great time. I was so thrilled to see that many people were cheering and applauding, it was great to feel such support.




















Check out the largest shopping cart! I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this.
Can you imagine filling this thing up?
