What is your favorite 4th car show/parade memory?

I have been going through lots of old photos. I tend to put them "away" to go through another day. There are so many memories coming back that it gets overwhelming.  

 

I remember coming across some pictures of several of my father's Corvettes in a parade. I drove his '58 in a couple 4th of July parades. It is one of my fondest memories about my dad. That and going to many car shows/swap meets. I remember sitting by the Corvettes he brought and talking to the admirers. At the time I didn't realize how lucky I was to have these experiences, but I do now. 

 

Happy 4th everyone!

Happy 4th to you too Miss VL2. Now is the time to make some memories in that pink 57. Have fun.

Daughter is now 30 and this would have happened when she was about 3 so late 1980s.  The other half was driving a local politician friend in our small town's Independence Day Parade.  The parade started at 1 pm so that meant we were there before noon and it was a HOT day. 

 

Our son is 4 years older and he got to ride in the front passenger seat but no room for a wiggly 3 year old so we watched the parade from the sidelines.  Did I mention it was hot?!?!  Waiting for our ride after the parade was finally over got to be too much and I gave permission for her to wade in the town fountain.  It looked pretty clean and next thing I know she's soaking wet from pig tails to toes.  Think we have pics somewhere of the blue convertible with the politician and a very wet but happy 3 year old.

That's a cute story and one that I can picture happening. I remeber some very hot parade days! 

 

Please post if you find the picture!
