Although very little parade guidance was provided this year, the parade went off without a hitch. We were also fortunate to have an early spot in the parade (#11 in the lineup). The weather was typical Texas weather: hot, humid and little to no breeze. We did manage to get parked near the school again this year which did allow us to find some shade. I also noticed we have cemented a greater rapport with the Marine Corps League as evidenced by the conversations we had. The parade had more of a turnout this year as compared to before and the folks were all smiles. Madison H won 1st Place in the Antique Vehicles class and Jim H won 2nd Place in the same class. After the parade we made our way the LaGrange Heroes Museum to provide a static display for a couple of hours and check out some new additions to their display. During the static display we went to lunch at the recommended restaurant and enjoyed a good meal and conversation. Everyone made home safely. Another community service provided.
