Loved the parade! It’s such a nice touch and one of those things that nakes Anna Maria Island unique. Well done and well organized! Just wondering though, with the Community Center always begging for cash, who paid for the horse drawn carriage? Wasn’t that a little bit of overkill? Wouldn’t them riding in a car be just as good?
