| Event: | Lakeway, July 4th Parade |
| Date: | 04-Jul-02 |
| Location: | Lakeway, Texas |
| Description: | Can you say SOGGY?
Central Texas has now had 10 days of straight rain. Severe flooding has occurred in the Austin/San Antonio corridor and today was no exception. However, we had a great showing with 9 vehicles for this wonderful little parade just outside of Austin. The majority of the group met at Swenson Auctioneers in Lakeway and unloaded. We then staged several times to make sure we had all the local General's and veterans (40 plus of them) who wanted to ride in the vehicles for the parade. Due to the rain, the schedule changed several times but we went with the flow and made a great showing. The parade wondered through the little town of Lakeway in a drizzle or light rain. The spectators were not as prevalent as last year, but they were out none the less to show their support. In total, we had 7 1/4 tons, a deuce and an M37. |
