Sophie and the 2015 Elks Rotary Parade float
After a full night (and part of an afternoon) at Magic Mountain, Sophie returns home at 7:00 AM with little sleep to ride in the Elks Rodeo Parade at 8:30 AM. Who needs sleep! Sophie is the Rotary Club of Santa Maria's Rotary exchange student from Germany. The classic wheels are Fred Pratt's 105 year old Mercedes which is this years Rotary Club of Santa Maria's Elks Parade float. Virginia is filling in for President Lisa Long and Fred is filling in for Fred. See more photos in the Photo Albums on the left side of this page about half way down the page.
