The Biggest Small Town Parade in Texas


Getting Ready,
 Finding The Right Spot, 
Waiting in Place

 Seguin is the county seat of Guadalupe county. Here are the young women chosen to represent Guadalupe county as the Miss Round-Up Court.




  Guadalupe county also has it's royal court. Here are the current Queen, Princess and Duchess.
 One of the biggest employers in Guadalupe county is CMC Steel. Each year, the company puts a couple of their trucks in the parade. One features some of the workers, and one features the families. These are some of the men who work at CMC.
 Many parade floats feature the children of the area. Some are much happier to have their picture taken than others.


 There are quite a few people who ride in the parade as representatives of different organizations. This young woman's dad asked if I would take a "professional" picture of her daughter. I love it when I am asked to take extra photos. I could tell her dad is proud of his daughter.



 These young ladies are braiding the tail of one of the horses. When they are finished, they will add ribbons and glitter to the tail. The horse doesn't seem to care.
 Many car enthusiasts enjoy the parade because of the all the classic automobiles that are entered. This Chevelle was trailered, but most of the cars are driven by their proud owners.


 There is lots and lots of red, white and blue used for the floats and the costumes.
 This dog was on a float featuring rescued animals. He looks so sad. I hope he has a loving family taking care of him.
Finally, this young man caught my eye. Look at his steely gaze.
