THURSDAY NIGHT some members met at Signature Towing <LINK> to begin working on the floats for the 4th of July parade the next morning.

INLINE SKATERS will escort the floats.

FLOAT PULLER Richard Wells of Wells Brothers Farm Store <LINK> takes pictures coming and going.

PLANO EARLY LIONS CLUB <LINK>, manager of the 4th of July parade, was there early with their float.

PLANO POLICE CHIEF GREG RUSHIN tells the boy scouts that " Those who celebrate the fourth with a fifth may not come forth on the fifth."

MEMBERS START GETTING READY TO MARCH ON.

JUERGEN MAHNEKE from the Bavarian Grill <LINK> prepares his family and employees for the musical trek down Independence Parkway.

BUD AND PEG McBRAYER showcase Scott O'Grady of McKinney.  Steve Parry loads up his VW Thing for its annual excursion. The Boy Scouts carry our "Battle of the Badges" <LINK> banner.

THE MARINES brought a few good men while the Army kept an eye on everybody.

BOY SCOUTS handed out candy under the watchful eye of a motorcycle escort and "Sparky" from the Fire Department.

OUR FLOATS PUTTERED ALONG at 3 MPH.

PLANO SUNRISE ROTARIANS were all throughout the parade working, walking and enjoying a ride.

BATTLE OF THE BADGES BLOOD DRIVE continues Thursday-Sunday, July 10-13. See the poster <LINK> for times and places.
 

CARTER BLOOD CARE is ready to give out goody bags to donors. Forty-nine units were collected with 26 being credited to the Fire Department and 23 to the Police Department.

GREG, KIT AND GEORGE are ready to draw blood. Colin Light hustles the Navy and Chief Rushin lays it on the line for the Department.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND THE LIBERTY BELL roll along with Hunters Glen Baptist Church <LINK> as Pastor Kim compares his scooter to a motorcycle and the ladies debate who is going to ride in the "coolest" seat in the parade.

THIRD QUARTER DUES are due and soon will be delinquent. Veterinarian Yvonne Hanks is the new Treasurer and if you don't pay up, she may "sic" some animal on you.
