4 July 2013 - Parade Photos
Here is a series of photos of the annual Independence Day parade in Mason. All photos were all taken with an Olympus PEN E-PL2 camera and Olympus 60/2,8 macro lens. As usual, the parade formed at the Mason High School and started north on Barnes street at 7:30pm. There was a good selection of tractors and emergency vehicles, such as fire engines. There was a good turnout to watch the parade, with all the local streets crowded with cars. The parade was led out by a Mason Police car followed by a color guard. I was particularly taken by the "Class of 1960" float (I was in the class of 1960, but from Tulsa Central High School in Oklahoma instead of from Mason). The parade reflects our identity as a farming community with lots of tractors. There were some very creative entries in this year's parade, which you can see by the following photos.
