Run, run, run at Mardi Gras

I mentioned before that at Mardi Gras (in Mobile) this year, the Friday night parade theme was Run, Run, Run!  I should have taken more pictures.

Anyway, since I write enough about running, I figured I'd share some photos from the Crewe of Columbus parade this year. 

One of the early floats, before we knew what the theme was:

A blurry picture of the theme sign, Run, Run, Run!

Somehow we're already on float 11 by now it appears, but that float was Run of Luck.

Run of Luck float:

Even blurrier, but I think it's Run for the the Roses:

The Beer Run sign/float:



Home run float sign:

Running of the bulls was another float theme:

Runaway train was one of the last ones:

And a pciture of the train float coming:

I missed the sign, but this was the Azalea 10k Trail Run float, which was my favorite.  I guess it's a local race so it would be in my mind, the most obvious float for this theme:

And the Crewe of Columbus parade won my award for 2015 Weirdest Catch of the Year.  I caught this t-shirt, which I thought was hilarious:
 

Here's a detail of the back.  Yes, apparently someone on the float on Feb. 13, 2015, was using t-shirts from a Sept. 27, 2014 high school cross country meet as throws...

So bizarre.  Weirdest catch of the following night was a 4-pack of toilet paper, but the t-shirt wins out for being weirdest overall.
