We've had a Mustang in the local July 4th Parade since 2001 (so this is our 10th parade). I had magnetic signs made up for the car to promote my Masonic Lodge, and we usually throw candy out to the kids (of all ages!). The year we changed things up a bit:
- we threw red, sliver, blue necklaces
- we had TWO Mustangs in the parade
Debbie and I were in our CHP Mustang, and the kids/cousins were in Debbie's 2005 convertible. The youngest in that car was Ray, who is the 13yo we are adopting from Foster Care. He LOVED being in his first parade! Here are the pics -
Standard parade practice - wait, wait, wait in the staging area (note that Ray is poised and ready to go!)
Here you can see the bags of necklaces we had for throwing -
