4th of July Parade and Potluck in Corrales

By Lorna Azevedo

Cars and people gathered early at the Azevedo’s to perk up there cars with 4th of July colors.  The cars, drivers and passengers then headed to the parade route.  July 4th was the perfect day for a parade!

We had approximately 12 Model T’s in the parade with many Lizzies catching rides where they could find seats. Neil’s fire truck was packed, and due to so many in our Club making space, several guests were able to be in the parade, also… and they had a blast! The parade was a tad shorter this year because of the temporary staging location, due to church services held at the Old Church.  It got very confusing making our way to the staging area, but we all made it into the parade by force or dumb luck!

A huge ―Thank You goes out to everyone who brought dishes to the picnic at the Azevedo’s.  The food was delicious, and there was plenty for everyone. Many of our friends from the Model A Club & the V-8 Club were in attendance.  It was so good to visit with so many people who have a love for the old Fords!  It was the perfect day.

Enjoy a few photos of a very special Independence Day.
