Barcroft Loves its Parade!

July 4, 2009 - Wonderful weather and our 21st parade!

It was a fine day for a parade.

Parade Director for Life Andrew Hunter consults with our police escort.

The cooks fired up the grill early, led once again by Phil Anderson, Alan Dickerson and Scott Peterson, with Stan Curtis, David Michaelson and Daniel Michaelson among others pitching in.




Arlington's finest, directed by Sgt. Marc Jenkins, were on hand.




The National Guard Color Guard from Arlington Hall led off.




Our spectacular Uncle Sam came again to be our parade marshal..

You can see the entire parade go by on YouTube.

It takes just six minutes!
