The Feather Fiesta Days Parade was enjoyed, as evidenced by the smiling faces in the crowd as the parade entrants went down 5th Avenue and Montgomery Street. Ten to 15 thousand people (it was estimated) flocked all thru the downtown streets and gazed at the approximately 800 classic cars that were entered in the car show this year. I have enclosed some pictures of the entries for you to enjoy. It was a day of great fun, food and festivities with vendors galore including a nice fellow “Brooksie”, I got to chat with, who has his shop, “Brooks Novelty and Antique Records” in Old Sacramento at 1107 Firehouse Alley, who had an antique boothhere in the Municipal Auditorium parking lot. He likes our area here and our Lake, so decided to display his wares here to the passersby. I hope it was a great $$$ day for our local merchants too. Next year they are going to have to block off more streets for the other classic cars that could not get in because we were full, I heard. It was a Great, Fun Filled Day, and Tons of Classic Beauties. Nothing like–Real Chrome and Nickel.
