On the 4th of July we have at least half dozen cites within 10 miles that have parades. This year we choose to go to La Verne. It took us about 15 minutes to get there and we found a place real easy to set up our chairs.

As far as parade go it was nice. The city of course has all it's fire trucks and a few police cars and bikes through out the parade. Then some of the local military operations were represented. I don't often take pictures in the bright sun anymore because you can't get a good picture with the harsh shadows and these pictures sure prove that.

One thing I had not seen before were bands on the back of flatbed trucks interspersed in the parade. There were about 4 bands, then of course there were local school marching bands. Don't ask me what the bottom two represent because I don't have a clue.
