"Mom: I want to march with my chickens." "Are you sure, son?" "I'm sure."

This car didn't have a sign, but I like to think they represented teenagers in love, circa 1978.

This was a threat to all kids in the back seat who don't behave.

The Beaterville Cafe Queen is always my favorite. Especially since she's atop a Gremlin.

The fashions among the electeds are always interesting to note.

But then there's always the Shriners.

And then there's this photo from 2006: looks like this Shriner has a favorite spot to always stand on that truckload of flags. I love it. See? Some things just stay the same.

More photos from St. Johns Parade 2009 here.

Hey now, chickens have to be in the parade too! What a great day....I'd stop just short of calling it beautiful, fantastic Americana.
Thanks for acknowledging the middle school bands. You know how important that is to me.
I missed the kid with the chickens. I think I was too busy trying to get a snapshot of the kid wheeling his pet angora rabbit--Jasper--along the parade route. Jasper was freaking out--big time.
Ah, Shriners. Not a parade without them!
