| Event: | Far West Blvd. July 4th Parade |
| Date: | Sunday, July 4th, 2004 |
| Location: | Far West Blvd. |
| Description: | The Far West Blvd. parade is like any other local
neighborhood parade in that there are usually more participants then
spectators. But that doesn't mean anything - They are still a blast
to attend!
Scott trailered his M38A1 from South of town to Far West Blvd off of MOPAC on the North end of town and unloaded. The staging area was at Waterline and Far West Blvd. where all the walking and children participants hang out. Scott swung by his sisters place and had a great July 4th breakfast and then loaded up his dad John, his niece Sarah and her friend Christine. Once loaded, they took a short block or two trip to line up behind the other vehicles in their staging area. Around 9:05AM, the parade kicked off with all the walkers, kids, pets etc going first. Then the vehicles followed in behind. The 10 block parade route was enjoyable with a fair amount of patriotic spectators lining both side of Far West Blvd. At the parade's termination point where there is a large party, Scott and his riders kept going and headed back to his sisters place to drop the riders. The Far West Blvd parade has been in existence since about 1979 or so as best anyone can remember. The parade is local and police block Mesa and Farwest Blvd. for the event. |
