The 25th Annual Alan Ross Freedom Parade was today in Dallas. As usual I rode with the local chapter of NLA, The National Leather Association. As such, we wore leather or at least as much of it as was practical for a day when the temperature reached 90.
The parade was a big hit with everyone along the route. There were about 40,000 people lining Cedar Springs Road in the Oak Lawn sector of Dallas. The crowds were 10 to 20 people deep in some places and our contingent got really enthusiastic cheers.
Seems nothing excites a crowd quite like a bunch of men and women wearing leather vests, chaps and boots! Of course the candy, beads and other goodies that we tossed helped as well.
All in all it was a sweaty but very entertaining parade with only a handful of protesters and we managed to avoid engaging them. Next year is our 20th anniversary, so we will have a real honest to goodness float!
