Tragedy mars Parade

Travis’ 100th Annual 4th of July parade, expected to be stupendous was rather a letdown. The tragedy was of course the Gaps, there were more gaps than parade and there didn’t seem to be any new parade entries other than the Pogo Stickers and a stage coach. Even the Antique cars were down in number.  A bit delayed getting the photos up, since I have been busy lately.

The mayor of our small town, Mayor Mike next to the Grand Marshal Janice Blanchard (in the red, white and blue sash). My grandfather was grand marshal one year, he wore a top hat and tails, very dapper.
