Gretna Days Parade Definitive Review
« on: July 18, 2015, 02:59:05 PM »
The Gretna Days Parade is a townie event in the closest small town to where I built my McMansion in the Omaha suburbs. My zip code is actually a Gretna zip. So, I believe it is my civic duty to attend townie Gretna events whenever possible.

To get things started we have the Knights Of Columbus laying down the rules. There will be absolutely no homosex, abortions, or taking of anyones guns at this or any other Gretna parade


next we have the obvious parade of local corvettes. there were probably over a thousand of them. It really got boring for someone like myself and lil sd who don't really know anything about corvettes. obvious NU license plate addition for thread.


Here we had all of the Gretna and all other local communities including Papillion, Lousville, Freemont, and La Vista area fire, police, and ambulances. There were no pictures of this because lil sd was absolutely losing his crap over them. It took my full dad strength to keep him out of the street. It was worth the price of admission just for this.

Now we have another highlight. The AAA Back To Back World Champion Omaha stormchaser mascots (like a steak and some sort of alien)



Now there were roughly 500 different vehicles and little cars and fake trains and other things by the Tangier Shriners. You could tell they were the bosses of the parade. They made their own rules and some of the little car guys were going like 80 mph giving high fives down the line of parade attendees. this was amazing and I may become a shriner for this stuff (unless they are like crazy right wing or something else which I'm sure they are)


waylen jennings on a mini four wheeler was my personal fav shriner


The shriners also have a train on like road wheels. lil sd lost his crap for this as well.




Ready for more lil sd losing his crap? good, because it's antique tractor time followed by new john deere tractors of progressively larger sizes for the next 20 minutes


Real highlight here. Photo speaks for itself.

stud cowboy boots, shorts, cowboy hat, three wheel scooter kid


huge round of applause for these guys obviously (sarpy co dems unrepresented in the parade). note they support the troops which is good imo.


sarpy co boyscouts, now begrudgingly accepting homosex!

That is fantastic.

A couple of questions:

Can you do a food review too?  I assume there is an "eat off" of some kind?

Troop 363 looks like they come correct!

Did you and lil sd do some synchronized  spinning heel kicks when the Sidewinders walked by or did you all just nod at one another

Was the shooter kid saved?   I bet he was.  I bet he converted quickly and the others forgave the crap out of him.

seems like a beautiful parade, imo


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.
