Nobody Rains on Our Parade!

This year's season of parade merriment was full of familiar faces and neighborhood fun!  Starting in early spring we hit the streets handing out bike maps and enjoying the wonders of each unique neighborhood. 

Here is the season's schedule:

Royal RosariansSt. John's Parade  

What a fun way to kick off the season--with one of the longest running and best attended neighborhood parades! This parade is a fun mix of vintage cars, marching bands, and waiving Rose Princesses.

Sam as 2007 Pride Grand MarshallSam was so excited to have the honor of being the Grand Marshall in the 2007 Portland Pride Parade     We had a great time passing out bike maps and waving to all the rainbow clad families! What a fun mix of people, music, art, and glitter!

Mississippi Street Fair

The sixth annual Mississippi Street Fair was their biggest yet! This year they switched it up a bit by having a kid's only parade--so we passed out  bike maps and water shed information out at the PDOT and BES booths!
