Thursday, April 2, 2015 – The 2015 Zippity Do Dah Parade

Thursday, April 2, 2015 – The 2015 Zippity Do Dah Parade

I love a parade! Here are a few photos from the 2015 Sweet Potato Queens Zippity Do Dah Parade.

Leslie Gore Tex (Rodeo Queen) and a real Queen headed toward the bus to the parade.

The Parade Route – The movie The Help was shot in Jackson.  This street is a major part of the movie.  You is kind. You is smart and you is important. And you is a Queen!

The Official Sweet Potato Queen Float.

These lovely queens were from Ohio.

Check out the majorette boots!

The fabulous Clydesdales

The Sonic Boom of the South -The Jackson State University Marching Band. Note the banner is carried by Spud Stud.

The Peacock Queens from Natchitoches, Louisiana.  I did not check to see if we were related, but I am sure we are.  Everybody is related to everybody in Louisiana.

The Butterfly Queens. Great capes!

And Last… Actually this was one of the first pics of the parade, but I saved it for last. Check out the hunk on the right.  I asked him to marry me and he said “Maybe” and threw me some engagement beads.  When I find him again, I will bring him home to look at and KMY and KQ and anybody else can fight over him.

That’s about it for the SQP weekend except for my hat from the Big A** Hat Luncheon.  It now becomes my Easter bonnet so you will hear more about it later.
