Several people drove antique cars and some of those cars are close to 100 years old. Then there were newer vehicles with tricked out shocks that made the car lean heavily to one side. Fire trucks from the five volunteer companies were spread out into the parade route, to insure the parade was not saturated with fire trucks.
