Taken today during the first anniversary celebration at the Robbie Waters Pocket-Greenhaven Library…

I’ve published a gallery of 98 photos from the Pocket Parade on the 4th of July. [GALLERY] I’ll leave all of them up for awhile, but will likely limit the gallery to only the best and most interesting photos eventually.
I hope you all made it to the Pocket Parade today. Look for a gallery of images from the parade, coming soon.

Monday June 27th is the last day to register your entry in the parade. Click here for the entry form.
The parade is on July 4th, starting at 10am, and goes along Windbridge Drive from Lisbon Elementary to Garcia Bend Park.
After the parade there will be an Parade Awards Ceremony and a Local Business Community Fair at Garcia Bend Park.
Here is a photo from the 2010 parade…
