4th July Parade


We stayed in Fredericksburg on the morning of the 4th to see their parade, and boy are we glad we did! It was quite an event, the whole town came out for it, no doubt because it was a Saturday, and a great way to understand a bit about the psyche of these Yanks. Best to describe it by pictures I think, you can take what you will from them!

Pipes and guns, always go together over here:
Luckily they separated the Republican and Democrat floats, but I reckon the Republicans would have won in a fight, they had a lot more support!


More guns, but I presume this one isn't in working order?
