[Dixielandjazz] Belle Fourche Parade Dixieland Jazz Float

[Gene Hovland]

To view the pictures of the Roundup Rambler float in the Belle Fourche 
Parade held July 4th, go to www.kodakgallery.com and use my email of

I have been trying to promote OKOM in the Black Hills of South Dakota.  This 
was a great and fun opportunity to do that.  Thanks to Jeff Thurston, Cheryl 
Lewis, Gary Church, Mike and Diane Quince for making this possible.  They 
traveled all the way from Sun Lakes/Phoenix area (about 2800 miles round 
trip) to Belle Fourche SD.  I was the photographer so the only picture of me 
is building float.

We had a great response from those that were along the parade route.  Float 
and music earned us 1st place in the parade music category.  I have head up 
to 10,000 people may have lined the parade route.

>From Belle Fourche paper
Parade has huge audience along route
Wednesday's Roundup Parade crowds seemed to cooperate in making parking 
easier by congregating along the entire parade route instead of just in 
downtown Belle Fourche. This group was near Herrmann Park as the long, long 
parade wound its way through the community with good crowds the entire way.
