4th of July Parade 2013
Sugar Creek, MO
The 4th of July parade in Sugar Creek Mo. went off with a blast. The parade started with very pleasant weather and a good turn out of tractors along with a restored truck driven by an old friend. We had several new arrivals in our group and all of the regulars which I greatly appreciated. We always get a good response from the crowd which appreciates our participation in the parade. Glenn Ratzlaff led the group with his 1947 JD A pulling a manure spreader filled with Linda and her friends.
