The PCS Golden State Chapter participated in the Niles Festival of Lights Parade in Fremont, CA (the former township of Niles). The parade marshall was hometown girl, and olympic gold medal winner, Kristy Yamaguchi. PCS member Tom Shafer drove his 1975 M-M Lifeliner, and I drove my 75 M-M Criterion. We were joined by members of the EVOOA, who came with their vintage police and fire rigs. While it was raining when we arrived, the sky cleared in time for the parade.

Now that is cool..... Thanks Robert :thumbsup:
 
The highlight of this parade is the Tap Dancing Christmas Trees. They are a local group who have gained national recognition, and are a hoot to watch. As this was a night parade, they were festooned with LED lights, and put a smile on the faces of all who watched from the sidelines.

Here is a link to their perfomance in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Very cool photos Robert, Thank You for sharing them, in addition to the pro-cars I really enjoy the old American LaFrance Fire trucks!
 
Why wait for next year... get some green beacon lens and paint your ambulance green for St. Patty Day... I think that there is already one green ambulance in the Golden State Chapter... :D
