There were revolutionary soldiers.
These guys even had a canon.
But I noticed it was staged a few blocks from the finish (so they didn’t need to roll it the whole way).
They did fire it off for the reviewing stand and it was as impressive as you would expect a canon to be.
I’m sorry I didn’t get a shot of the smoke clearing over the street — that, too, was impressive.
And the Shriners were there. They had both these cars and equally small minibikes.
It’s always impressive to watch their close order drill.
I was only a little worried for my toes and nose taking this photo.
I’m glad the full-sized exotic and antique cars did not try these sorts of tricks.
And I think it’s clear by this this set up that Alexandria was ready for a good, old fashioned parade:
A parade.
Perfect weather.
Pipes and Drums.
Maybe we really are turning the Covid corner.
