Beaverdale Parade 2008

This is an annual "neighborhood" parade-more than 100 entries-in NW Des Moines, IA

It was a gorgeous fall day filled with nostalgia and candy, a nice chance to get
away from the troubles of the world for an hour.

Where's Janet? I don't see her??? Great pix, thanks Margaret and Gerry. Even in Trinidad, I get to see what great weather you are having in Iowa. Love, Dick
