Thanks to Annie for sending me these and other parade pictures. Hats off to Doris Anaya for organizing the parade and most efficiently getting it on the road.
Local businesses, agencies, groups and individuals turned out to support the parade. Not everyone had a float - they embellished whatever was at hand, rolling or marching in by truck, car, ATV, bicycle, horse, mule or mare's shank (Miss Marple's expression for going afoot). Let's hope that next year's turnout will be even better. I certainly look forward to what the arts council comes up with. If we can come up with something suitable & non-sweltering, Sable & I may show up too.
And now Dear Readers, I ask for your assistance in putting names on unidentified people in the pictures. You can post IDs as comments or email them to me to post here. I'm also asking around for more Jubilee pictures. Who got which awards would be nice too.

I recognize the Forest Service's Woody Owl but not the other passenges.
There was also a float with Smokey Bear. If you do, send me their names.
