Wow!  That parade has to have been one of the most impressive displays I’ve ever witnessed in Decatur.  In both artistry and sheer size!  How many thousands of people walked from Color Wheel to the Square this evening?

I hope whoever was flying that drone over Decatur this evening posts a YouTube video so we can count!  For now, feel free to enjoy my own short video and a few shots from this truly incredible Decatur event.

Oh, and send in your own pics and I’ll add them to the thread!

More photos after the jump!
