An American small town celebration...

[LWW]

Yep, welcome to Overpeck, Ohio. You can't make a name like that up.

Sitting between Dayton and Cincinnati Overpeck is a very patriotic town that is almost a walk into a bygone day.

The local VFW is guarded by patriotic garden guy...

and garden gal.

The mighty Captain America picks up the trailer at the VFW for delivery...

to the parade staging ground for assembly...

of the final parade float...

and it's centerpiece.

Plus the Liberty Bell...

the Civil War recreators...

and whoever this was.

And our float getting ready to go...

...and some real friendly people next to us...

...and how's that for a police cruiser...

...and then I had to deal with these clowns.

Thanks for viewing.
