Palisades July 4 Parade

Posted on July 6, 2007 in Uncategorized

One of the first things I expected to do last year when I won my title was participate in an Independence Day parade. I was crowned so close to the 4th last year that I wasn’t able to make it happen – a mistake I wouldn’t make twice!

This July 4th, I celebrated the day (in the morning, at least) in Palisades. This part of DC, very close to Georgetown and Glover Park, has an annual Independence Day parade. I was so surprised by how many spectators were there, impressed with the other paraders, and very honored with the reception I received!

Thanks to Greg Gary for driving his new BMW convertible – the hottest car in the parade – for me to ride on!
