The Gasparilla parade(s) are held every year in Tampa, Fl. over a hundred Krewes (as done in Madi-gras) host several parades. I had the dubious honor to serve as a safety warden for the Krewe of Shamrock, which our friend Shriner is a member. It may have been construed as work, but is was a lot of fun for me, especially being my 1st time at Gasparilla. The members I met and the hospitality they show makes me wish I would've moved there along time ago. I want to give my heart felt thanks and overdue post on the best Krewe and movable party I have been to (and I have been to several all over the world). Pics are in my albums.
