Some of the Emeraldettes.

And a few pre-Emeraldettes.

A proud Scottish Miss, ready to dance for us.

Don't know her name, but would Katie O'Reilly do?

This may be the sweetest smile in town.

She's a member of the dancers from The Band of Baltimore and she did shake.

I like the face, love the hair.

Watching the parade.

Mom and the girl: A nice moment.

The Viking horn and Jessica Allison-Bourne is a-blowin'.

Gotta love this kid.

Hey, nice hat. Great eyes, too.

Just one more picture.

And one more kiss.

The Annual Vinton Dogwood Parade drew a few thousand people to its annual celebration on a cool afternoon today. I thought for a little change of pace, we would take a look at the belles of this particular ball to get a little idea what the guys were looking at today. And here it is.
