The post parade market is quite lucrative.

You used to be able to see the parade floats after for free. I went with my dad once to try, no parking -10 bucks a spot and three to get into the area.

A few years ago it's ? to park, 10 to get in and they strip the flowers, package them as potpourri and sell them for some jacked up price.


The float 'steel' and forms are recycled.

Cold concrete on hemorrhoids is usually a good reason to skip a parade.
