We had a nice local parade here this past weekend and I always take the trucks down for it to help give the guys from the VFW rides. I could only muster up drivers for four of mine so I left the M37 at home since my buddy Jim was bringing his M37 for the parade. Had some absolutely beautiful weather for the whole day!

4th of July brought the big parade in Ludington, MI. This parade is so big that people start marking out their seats along the parade route about 3 days before hand. I pulled the float for my daughters dance school and team. With a big sound system going in the rear of the M715, the girls danced their way through the whole 3 miles of parade route.

Always a great time and the people just love the M715 when we roll through. We always get a lot of shouts and thumbs up.

Next up we have a show next weekend and I was getting Huey, Dewey, and Louie all dressed up and ready to stand guard at the show. They do a good job of keeping an eye on the crowds.

As I get ready for a show this upcoming weekend, I added a new member to the display group. Please welcome Nurse Betty who will display with the M725 Ambulance.

Finding Vietnam era nurses jungle fatigues ended up being quite the challenge, but after some digging I found a couple sets.

Well the show from this past Saturday was cancelled due to major rain storms, but during a calm point, I got the ambulance out and took a few pics with Nurse Betty.

I took both the M715 and M725 into the local car show here in Hart Michigan this past weekend and set up with my buddy Jim and his M37. It's so fun to set up and interact with the crowds.

I won both 1st and 2nd place with the trucks in their categories. All in all it was a great show and a chance to talk with people about these cool old military trucks.
