Happy Independence Day: We Love A Parade

The 3rd Annual Southside Neighborhood Parade!
 The rootbeer float stand is ready and waiting...
George in the line-up (I had nothing to do with this, but I thought it was cool!)
Josie, DeNae and Miss 12th Avenue
Rose, Miss 11th Avenue, with her homemade stilts and too-big dress-up gown


Let the festivities begin! Fireworks and our very own Air Force Color Guard


The princess court and the "four dancing Chinese ladies and one caucasion 'float'"


Remember this post?
The Artist Who Shall Not Be Named is back! (from rehab)


The military man and the hippie gettin' along, leadin' the parade down 11th Avenue

Angie's protest float: Save the Lot! (the vacant lot next door, that is, from greedy developers)

We even have an Honor Guard!

Heading down 13th Avenue

The princesses enjoy post-parade refreshments

And the Zahn's 3rd Annual Post-Parade Hot Dog Feed

Just because we love our crazy neighborhood so much!
