The King Felix III, Floral Parade in Mobile, Alabama

 Just down the street from Loda Bier Garten is a parade route.  The King Felix III, Floral Parade is on the move....





A group marches with a
BullyBlocker banner.







The public, especially Mobile's youth, is encouraged to text to 444999 to report bullying.  This program encourages Mobile citizens to treat everyone with respect, learn how to protect from cyberbullying and how to stand up to bullies.






The first of the Court
floats....







Those beads are coming
straight at me!





I smiled & waved at
the  bead thrower.





The Royal float....











I like the different flowers
on each float.






The young people manning the floats are enthusiastic.  They's got serious throwing arms.  I wonder about how many of them are on sports teams at their schools.





A band provides
the music....






Locals come prepared
with large bags for
all of the booty...






It's the Rubber Ducky
float.









Eric watches a float
go by....

He's been catching
lots of stuff.






This float has mice.




The USS Alabama Crewmates
man the last float in the
parade.


Eric and I each have a backpack and they are filling up quickly.  Let's go find a place to sit down and organize what we have.
