Event: Chisholm Trail Roundup Parade
Date: 08-Jun-02
Location: Lockhart, Texas
Description: Another good event this year.  

The day started off warm with Danny trailering his M151A2/M416 combination.  Scott trailered his M38A1 and brought his dad along for the festivities.  Jeff towed his MB.  The High School parking lot is an excellent resource for our trailers for this event.  After unloading and driving the mile or so, we hit the staging area and settled in for the judges to arrive.

The judges started making their rounds and we had our vehicles lined up.  It was an impressive display representing all three war eras - WWII, Korea and Vietnam.  Several minutes later, they returned and awarded us the red ribbon.

So, with our second place ribbon in hand, we meandered through the wonderful parade waving and smiling, having our pictures taken so that will be forever immortalized in shoebox's located in closets for an eternity with our red ribbon flying proudly on Jeff's lead vehicle.

After the parade, we then headed over the Blacks BBQ for some tasty chicken, ribs, sausage and a cold beer or tea.  That's just the icing on the cake for this fun little summer-time parade.
