2016 Fishtown Horribles Parade!

Perfect weather for a parade and I was in the perfect spot for all the festivities. I haven't seen the parade for years but this time around I was working my weekend job as supervisor of the New Balance Track and Field at Newell Stadium. That's where the parade starts from and got some behind the scenes shots. I was asked if I could allow the Mass State Mounted Police to park their horse trailer within the stadium gates. Once that was done I was able to get shots of the horses along with the troopers. Usually I lock up at 8 pm but many of the parade participants needed use of the rest rooms. Since I was going to wait for the fireworks, I stayed until 9 pm to lock up.
