Due to weather 3 cancelled tonite. 2 rescheduled to roll another day.

Hope to have some more pics this weekend.

FYI, the man with the torch is called a Flambeau Carrier. Started when there were no street lites and carried on for tradition.

It really adds to the effect of a nite parade.

More of the parades are going to mules for the Kings float.

The parade LT ride on horse back.
