Springfield Parade

The day was hot but the turnout from Antioch and the spectators on the side was huge. Today, I rode with Fred Brooks who proved he really does own a Jaguar. The rest of the Divan present rode in Dave Heizer's car. All our Military Veterans wore a red white and blue ribbon today to designate them as a Veteran.

Unfortunately, Springfield chose not to have an announcer spot for the parade so while Doug Boyd was ready the parade committee decided not to have a review stand. The other part of the day which was kind of tricky was avoiding the many road construction areas and dealing with the changing landscape of Springfield due to the new Hospital.

The Springfield Shrine Club put on a great afterglow and had many helpers.
