Spring Parade was Today

The Winton Spring Parade was today, Saturday, April 25. Members of the Winton Historical Society rode in the Model A's, courtesy of the Yosemite Gateway Model A Club. The Winton Scouts carried our Banner in front of the first Model A in the Parade.
Here is Lucille and Don Morgado, standing by Don's Model A. It's a 1927 Model, the first year that Ford changed over from the Model T to Model A's. His car is in like-new condition. Beautiful color.
Here is my sister, Carolyn and I. We rode in the rumble seat of Don's car. He had to give us a little help getting in. Other Winton Historical Society members rode in the other Model A's. Grace and Marilyn also rode in a rumble seat. I hope to get a picture of that. It was fun being in the parade, waving at all our "fans" along the route from the Fire Station to the Winton Park on Olive Avenue. Don parked the car and then we wondered how we were going to get out of the rumble seat. It was easier getting in than out. With our bum knees, it took TWO men to help us out. Guess that was our first and last ride in a rumble seat, but it was FUN!!
