California Here We Come - part 8 - Parade Day continued

Please see parts 1-7 first

The floats and horses in the parade were simply amazing! Here are a few of my favorites.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I couldn't believe Hee Haw had a float in the parade. Marty Stewart and his wife were on board.

 

The Vera Bradley float carried women who had survived breast cancer. Cynthia Nixon (Miranda from Sex and the City) was on board. She looked so pretty!

 

 

The now famous skateboarding dogs, Tyson and Tillman had their own float in the parade with a skateboarding track built right in! This float was blaring "Who Let the Dogs Out?" and it was a real crowd pleaser!

 

I believe it was one of these horses that took off with the most amazing gait I have ever seen. I believe it's called the rack or racking. I wish I had filmed that!

 

Both USC and Penn State showed up for the parade and both teams were greeted with both cheers and boos as they came by our area!

 

 

 

 

More to come including my favorite floats AND the Homewood Patriot Marching Band!
