I Love A Parade

This morning I went down and saw the annual Celebrate Birmingham parade. This is an annual affair with a small-town feel, where two marching bands, the shriners, local politicians, and lots of interesting cars make a slow circuit around downtown Birmingham before retiring to the central park for a day of kiddie fun. Here is a selection of the more interesting vehicles from the parade.


A classic Ford


The Oakland Country DARE Truck (our tax dollars at work...)


Oakland County dive rescue


A cool antique fire engine

A Chrysler wagon


Eastern Bloc army truck?

Ford convertible

Another classif Ford

The Celtic Pipes and Drums


The Shriner's wheelie wagon, based on an old Ford truck I think

Shriners on little scooters

Now come the old-west Shriners


Not very P.C. but he was funny.

Another old car converted for clown duty


This tree service truck looks like a recycled old ladder fire truck.

The Falun Gong were out in force. No one felt threatened. The state was not destabilized.

Interesting taste in women.

Cool spring-stilt walkers


The tail end of the parade was a huge mass of bassett hounds.
