I am so glad I never saw this America on Parade in person; just looking at this roll could give a guy nightmares. The freakishly large nondescript heads of the characters from this Summer 1976 Bicentennial Parade totally creeps me out. So....thought I’d share the love and post them here in all their glory. The vantage point of our photographer is Town Square. Wonder if he had to put a blanket, stroller, and 3 backpacks down in advance to stake it out?
Would you let this lady watch YOUR kid?!?
FINALLY! Some characters that I recognize. I think I’d take the Big Bad Wolf over any of these other strange giants!
Thanksgiving will never be the same again after seeing this monstrosity in person!
The affirmative action department must have pushed to get this one guy into the parade:
I keep waiting for the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man from Ghostbusters to come exploding out somewhere; maybe he’s hiding in the cannon.
Happy 200th Birthday, America! What a wacky celebration indeed.
