The Parade

This really deserves a post of its own- the famous Fremont Fair parade. I really only saw a few minutes of it (my lunch was waiting for me and the crowd made it a bit hard to see).

The crowd was protesting the "occupation"

It began innocently enough with this man dressed as an ostrich

Oh, wait. The man is in leopard tights. Children are petting the phallic ostrich. Welcome to Fremont!

Cool skirts on strange witches

Stilts man- boobs coming down the road behind him!

Oh, there's the boobs. You're welcome. ;)
Not really offensive, but certainly still shocking to see in public. And trying to imagine doing it myself- no way!


The sun-themed float

Check out those drag queen's heels!!!


A quick video of the heels

Hula-hooping

That man had a HUGE hand

The Three Little Pigs on a bike

And here's the wolf!

Lady with a bear...

The strutting mermaids/mermans?

They were pretty in sync:



Waving the fabric- it was a cool effect (Sorry, no video!)
