THE 4TH OF JULY...2022

The Red River, NM 4th of July parade

was greeted with beautiful blue skies

and cool temps.  With COVID out of the way (mostly),

the parade was back to its old self.

Lots of entries, happy people, candy galore...

Vannie's decked out in her red, white, and blue,

ready for the festivities to begin.

Her compadres were sittin' and eatin'.

Dave, Dorothy and Dan Jowers

T-Buck's is the place to get these yummy apple fritters.

DELICIOUS!!!

The firetrucks led the parade.

There were several from surrounding areas.

...then came this monster of a truck...

USA

Weezie's Wild Rides had a fun float.

They are all excited the forest is open...

the rains are happening...

and folks are back to "wild riding" with Weezie.

Concerned Women

We have a lot to be concerned about.

Uncle Sam was ready for whatever came up.

Not sure about this one...

I think these ladies were trying to 

find more stuff to throw...

"Where's the candy, Ethel.?"

Or maybe they were just "concerned"...

The Queen

The Princesses

These beautiful ladies were from Taos.

They were representing a big weekend festival coming up soon.

WILD

TALL PINE

Vannie said she wasn't sure what/who this one represented.

King Rex

Is this guy from Louisiana?

Always nice to have a school bus in the parade...

Dave said he didn't remember one being in it before.

This was a group of kids from a Young Camp.

...and then the motorcyles...

The truck actually had a movie showing on it's side...

I wonder if I could do this on my side.

Hmmm...probably not...since I'm curved.

N I C E

Almost to the end of the parade...

for obviously reasons...

Beautiful horses

Pretty Ladies

You can always count on Capo's Restaurant

for a good time.

Great Food

Great Service

...and a Great 4th Parade Float

The Red River Red Bus

bringing up the rear...

Thank you Red Bus...

You do a great job carting people around...

and for FREE.

Vannie and Dave ended their 4th festivities by watching

the Capitol 4th on the tellie.

Lots of good music

Lots of Patriotism

Lots of smiles for the camera

Lots of Red, White, and Blue

Hope your 4th was an upper!

Ours sure was!
