Old photo... Isn't that the sweetest thing??? An old picture, from an earlier "Floral Parade." For our 150th Ann. of Racing (this Season), we are resurrecting the "Floral Parade." :-) The First was held in 1894, and continued for years, until it got tooooo big, according to reports. :-)
According to an official program, the Third Annual Floral Parade, consisted of "magnificently decorated private equipages," over 2 thousand bicycles decorated with flowers, and "the famous Olympic Bicycle Band on wheels." Whooo-hooooo... That must have been fun.
Certainly hope our resurrected one, will be pretty and fun too. It ends with an Ice Cream Social in the Park. Ice Cream donated by a local company. :-)

According to comments, my blog is now *working* for some, who had problems before. Not so, for others. -sigh-
Please keep telling me, of problems you have, with accessing and reading my blog. With luck, all will smooth out eventually. I'll keep this setting of only 1 entry showing... And keep working on the pic size issue. Keeping them nice-and-big, but not too-big. :-)

i hope you get photos for us of the new parade. i like the photo of the ladies with bikes, and am glad i did not have to ride a bike in those dresses. i am betting the women riding in this year parade will not have on long dresses... i like the wheels with all the flowers.. cool parade..
What a Fun thing to do! Bet all those flowers smelled wonderful too!

What a thrill it must have been for the children! That would have totally floated my little girl self's boat. What does that lady in the front have on her shoe?
This would be quite a sight to see! I hope you get to see the parade and takes lots of photos. Have fun!
Auntie, What a good "pop" fixing the bikes for the g.kids. I loved the cute little man with the rosy bike:):) That would have been a nice celebration to attend. Everyone dressed so nicely and all the pretty bikes.xoxo,Susie
Oh what fun - love all these old photos, but you knew that I would:)
