Round Top, Texas: Fourth Of July Parade 2014 Part 1- Future Presidents

Each year Round Top – with neighboring towns and cities – puts on an extensive country parade: an impressive number of horse and riders, vintage cars, fire trucks, tractors and floats make the morning of the Fourth something special. Local politicians and businesses take part in the fun.

It is a Fayette County tradition.

The main Henkel Square and roads leading into and out of Round Top are jammed with cars and visitors as many hundreds have a patriotic good time. [Population of Round Top proper is ninety.]

Appended is a slide show of one aspect of the parade: youthful participants. They sure start ‘em young in Texas; they can grow up to be presidential timber. You never know.
