Last month the Fiestas de La Santa Rosa spread a greasy layer of fun on the dry, and dusty town. Music by local bands and the naming of the Junior Queen on Saturday were certainly highlights. But we all live for the Sunday spectacle. The Parade. This year's excitement was not limited to fancy trucks and low riders, no sir. There were cheerleaders, maidens pulled by tractor, Nelson and Mary as King & Queen and opportunistic politicians. Candy galore as usual and for the second year, the mightier and more well rehearsed Dixon Marching Band gave us rousing versions of, well... marching tunes.

Hopefully next year, I'll have a dolly or at least a tripod to reduce some of that handheld horror movie look infecting a good portion of this clip. March!
