2012 Red Hats Firemens Field Day Parade


Ladies Auxiliary "Red Hats" 2012 Firemen's Field Day Parade Float.

They took 1st prize (again).

On Thursday July 8th our VFW Redneck Redhatter’s entered a Float in the annual Mexico Fireman’s Field Day. This year our Theme was “Rocking with the Oldies” or the 1950’s Poodle Skirt, Bobby Sock Era. Our Theme Song was “Rock Around The Clock Tonight”. Eighteen Sisters with hair in real or fake pony tails dressed up in Poodle Skirts, Rolled Up Blue-Jeans, Bobby Socks and some with Saddle Shoes set out to “ROCK” the little town of Mexico.

Our Commander Russell Marsden led the Parade in our Army Truck advertising the AVTT Traveling Vietnam Wall coming to our post the following week. Sr. Vice Commander, Paul Gorman, drove the Float in our Bar Stewart Dick Niles big , beautiful red Ford truck adorned with our large Red Hat. The Float was adorned with great signs that with the help of Veteran Al Kessler doing the lettering turned out to be spectacular.
