For a long time LOST GALLERY kept a page called PARTIES, PARADES and PICNICS. Well, you guessed it, they got too big for one page. So now there is a page for each category. This new page is just for PARADES!
This is Eisenhower in a parade through downtown Salina, Kansas.
It's a parade float loaded with happy people. Was it a county fair, or a national holiday, or maybe a founder's day celebration? Does anyone remember this respected citizen? But wait! Do I see it again? It's the
"pun heard around the world."

THE KIDS 
It is always a mystery how a photograph of any of these precious children could end up lost or abandoned. Here are a few. You will probably say "Ooh..." at least once.
Dee and the Business School 
The beautiful Dee. A curious story; What do you see?
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
"What are they doing?"
I love the sense of anticipation shown by the crowds in these early parade scenes. The snapshot from Stratton, NE could have come out of LIFE magazine. I did a doubletake on the parade down the dry concrete culvert with the spectators on the embankment. My favorite though is the cymbal player, he's terrific!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike Brubaker. I was never quite sure what was going on in the Nebraska snapshot. It was something that drew a crowd. I like the cymbal player too. I just noticed I had him on the page twice!
