Parade the Circle (6/13/2015)

Saturday, June 13, 2015
Because it was overcast, we were able to get front row seats with Bob W at the Parade the Circle this year.

Sponsored by the Cleveland Museum of Art

Booths of community organizations
provided activities, mostly for children

The parade began shortly after noon.

Cirque d'Afrique

"Always Sit in Front" featured a wild ride on the Hurler

"It went Zip when it moved, Bop when it stopped,
and Whirr when it stood still" (Vintage tin toys)

"Raízes da Tradição/Roots of Tradition" with Guest Artists Ana Paula Gomes and Fábio Roberto Gomes da Silva.

"Agua, Sol y Sereno" Guest artists
Pedro Adorno and Cathy Vigo

"Focusing on the BEAT" with
the Sebring Unicycle and Juggling Club

"Nicodemus" the leader of the Rats of NIMH

"Do you believe...in Unicorns?"
with Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots!

"Swine Lake"

"Once Upon a Parade"
with Mother Goose maybe

UMADAOP Drumline

UMADAOP stands for Urban Minority Alcohol & Drug Abuse Outreach Program.

"Senufo-inspired Elephant-Bull Herd"
Buffalo and Herdsmen

It is definitely not an "elephant bull"

I think this is "Oliver Heart R/S"

The kids were great about bobbling their "skirts"
and then they all plunked down!
