State Of Conneticut - hoss - 09-19-2011

So, my grand plan to run in the Stephentown Muster was shot in the foot by the remainder of our already small team being otherwise committed (work, college, life, ect). So I went back to plan X and attended the CT Convention Parade anyways.



Here's the link to the 500+ shots from one of the larger parades I got to, lasted about 2.5 hours. We were set up near the end of the parade and it took almost 45 minutes for the first company to arrive. There are some awesome sights to be seen in this batch of photos, some classics right up rigs right off the line.

Incidentally I've only missed one Convention Parade since 2002
