Fresh Up
We’ve always liked to stand across from the Fresh Up Club when we go to the Juneteenth parade. There’s a vacant lot, terraced from the sidewalk and with a bit of shade. Chicon was filled from curb to curb when the bands came through. What a sight! What a sound! It’s not too late to hear everybody, at the second part of the battle of the bands and drumline competition tonight. The troop of fancy gaited horses formed the last contingent in the parade, followed closely by the City of Austin Tymco sweeper.
I enjoyed the march as well especially the Firefighters. By the way, they are having a cool Firefighter’s Ball on this Saturday Jan 21 2006. Details at http://www.aaaffa.org/ball.htm
