Fourth of July parades all over the midwest typically begin with veteran groups such as the American Legion and the VFW.  They are followed by local firefighters, antique tractors and cars, community groups, beauty queens, local politicians and sometimes local high school marching bands.

This parade in Sharon, WI had one marching band, dozens of tractors and a large contingent of hot rods and restored antique cars.

This parade ended with a large truckload of people spraying selected members of the crowd with water.

If you missed your mid-America hometown parade, this is most likely what it looked like - with the exception of a little girl with one eye swollen shut from a mosquito bite.
