It wouldn't be a hometown parade without these guys. It has been said that the difference between men and boys is the size of their toys. Having snapped these pictures, I decided to give them their own blog entry - probably the shortest blog I'll ever write. Leaving you with several questions.......how in hell did they stuff that big guy into that little car? And what's that funny thing perched on his head? Yes, of course - it's a fez, and these are members of a Masonic group known as the Shrine. They do many good deeds, but when it comes to parades, their inner child escapes into undersized vehicles driven by over-sized drivers.
These shots were taken during the "set up" of the Eureka Days Parade, held in next-door Eureka, where the town holds a carnival and parade during Eureka Days. Never go to a small town celebration without a camera, for this is where one captures the true spirit of America.
