4th Santa Cruz Carnival Parade
"WE Parade" Saturday, June 08, 2002
10am - 12 (noon)

Preparation of the truck and the banner

Our volunteering driver: Christina!

Last chance for dance rehearsal before the parade!
 

Now, we should be ready for the parade!
 

Parade starts from Cathcart Avenue along Pacific Avenue.
We walk....
 

Then we form a Rueda circle and dance

Gilberto's truck was driving ahead and was carrying the sound system and the banner.
 

Just one example of a participating group.
...and we do not show pictures of the belly dancers....

The Jury......
 

Still the jury who got up their chair now!
 

Cesario in action: "Dame una"
 

Cesario:"Sombrero!"

After 2 hours constant dancing on asphalt:
Happy faces at the end!

Thank you

 "Costumes & Decoration Committee":

who did a wonderful job and received one month free membership, a gift certificate and a rose!

Thank you all for this great spirit of cummunity!
