Red Poppy Festival Time!

Saturday was spent in Georgetown, Texas as I photographed the 2014 Red Poppy Festival for the Williamson County Sun.   The event included a parade, vintage cars and trucks, food, drink and plenty of music, including Off the Record, a Pflugerville-based group of guys who kept things rolling.   Among the group members was Kyle McBride, who does a really good Elvis impersonation.  During the parade, 8-year-old Jasmine Maxwell, shown in the opening photo, got the opportunity to wave her American flag.   Sisters Abigail and Naomi Kurtz came dressed for the day in their red poppy-themed dresses.   The music was a little loud at times for Naomi, but she finally got into the swing of things.    I really enjoyed looking at the vintage motor vehicles, too.   A light dusting of rain only added to the sparkle of a bright red 1932 Ford pickup truck.   What a great truck!  In the final photo, 3-year-old triplets, including (left to right) Bear, Malachi and Charley Turner brought their own special wheeled vehicle, a good way for mom to keep things moving on a hectic day.
