Everybody Loves a Parade


I left Phoenix last Friday morning for my road trip to New Mexico and when I got to the mining town of Globe Arizona, I stopped for lunch and found myself caught up in Hight School Homecoming festivities.


It's been....well lets just say a very long time....since I've watched a homecoming parade so I decided to stick around and watch.  Of course, I didn't have much choice since my car was parked on a street that had been closed.


I got to see the homecoming Queen but since the sign read "Queen and King", I had to wonder what happened to said king.  Maybe stage fright?


There were a few floats to admire (3 to be exact).  After all, it is a small town.


And, you can't have a parade without the fire department participating!
I have to admit, it was fun to watch!

  2. It really is hard to resist a parade Sharon. Had a smile at the thought of the missing Home Coming King ☺️ Love the Fire department shot 😊

  4. Way to roll with an unexpected delay in your travels! I wonder what happened to the king?! Maybe he's on that fire truck with the rest of the football team.

  7. Parades are good fun, maybe they couldn't find a good enough King, fingers crossed for next time.

  8. It looks like fun. Glad you took pictures. I don't think we have homecoming parades around here but my friend's granddaughter was a homecoming queen last weekend. Does that count?
