Wow! What a Great Day!!
If you missed the Monrovia Day Parade this morning, you missed a great time. Of course, if you missed it, you might also have been the only Primrosian who wasn't there, either in it or watching! Here's a photo run-down of the Saturday morning fun.
Primrose Neighbor and School Board President Ed Gilliand was one of the many elected officials, of course, in the parade. He got to ride in a great Ford Fairlane! Lucky him!
Ms. Omnipresent Monrovia, Becky Shevlin, brought along a Birthday cake-shaped hat as she joined the Monrovia Reads program. That woman is everywhere!
Among the cutest entries in the whole parade was the Girl Scouts'
Brownie Troop with Monica Wilkerson and Alyssa leading the way with the banner!
Of course, it's hard to have a parade without an audience, and Primrose was well represented. At one point, we managed to gather the Luconis (yes, all three!), the Parrys and Oulettes in one spot!
And, a parade also requires bands and flags and floats! the Monrovia Day Parade didn't disappoint!
The MHS Band was one of the leaders of the day!
Every good parade has a big red fire engine (or, so Robert says). Got that covered too!
Oh yeah, you can't have a parade without the Mayor, either. And he gets a fancy convertible, too!!!
Monrovia is a flag waving kinda town, and some of the best presenters of the Stars & Stripes are the MPD Explorer Post color guard. They looked really spit & polished, as always! Very impressive!
The Blue Star Families, getting started once again here in town were there, as well as many of their service-member families members in uniform, and looking proud.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONROVIA!!!!!
