July 16, 2010 - Ilion Doo Dah Parade

The march route for the Ilion Doo-Dah Parade was changed this year. Instead of starting and ending near Remington Arms - we stepped off a little further north on Philip St.

This made the parade a tad shorter and it was all downhill. It was just as crowded as ever along the whole route.

We followed an 1844 Fire Pumper and the kids on the float were all armed with super-soaker squirt guns which they used to spray the spectators. Half-way down West St. - they were surprise-attacked by other kids also armed with super-soakers - and that is VERY DOO-DAH! Participation and Fun!

The biggest crowd was as usual in front of the Elks Club - now closer to the end of the route than the beginning and a welcome sight as always - a wild night in Ilion. We were even treated to a ride back to our cars on shuttle buses.

VIVA LA BANDA ROSSA!
