Share Your Memories of the Parade

It started out wet but there was no stopping the DeSoto Grand Parade. The beads were flying and the entertainment was unstoppable.

A deluge launched the parade, but soon enough sunny skies emerged. Parade participants were undaunted. Wet hair, wet clothes deep puddles all went ignored as they tossed out beads, waved to the crowd and even did a little dancing.

Upload your photos here and let us see what you saw. Afterall, Patch was in the parade, so we missed seeing most of the action/
