After the last year's ultra-wet parade, this year brought Wimberley a picture-perfect day for the annual 4th of July parade.
The enthusiastic, colorful, and photogenic crowd brought plenty of spirit to the occasion. The 2008 parade included the usual favorites like the popular Shrine clowns, Keep Wimberley Beautiful, Wimberley Lions Club, Boy Scouts, Wimberley High School band, cheerleaders, Junior High students, and many, many more. An outstanding float was the entry by the Boy Scouts, the USS Lexington that almost looked as if it were amphibious. Another crowd favorite was the Frump Float, too much fun to miss.
The 2008 parade was the second big event of a long weekend of fun in Wimberley to celebrate the 4th of July. The VFW Rodeo kicked off festivities the evening before, and the parade was followed by a Jubilee. Saturday winds up the events with the final Pro Rodeo.
