You must have a really nice community, Devon. Everyone looks like they're having a good time and enjoying the spectacle. You got some great shots, too.

I loved seeing all the dogs dressed up in the parade! You're making me look forward to the parade in town this year. Thanks for posting. I could use some cool weather pics with this heat.
