Hello

I so enjoyed reading your recent article about the Posey Parade. Several
years ago I contributed all of the pictures at the link you provided, they
were in our old family albums. The picture used in your article featured
our neighbors on 5th Avenue. Each year our neighborhood got together and
made a float with flowers from our neighbors’ yards and those contributed by
local florists. A neighbor’s garage was used to assemble the float. The
picture at the very bottom of the link is me, Evelyn Leech Marten. Each
year my family staked out our spot on the curb in front of then Maule Drug
store to watch the parade. It was great fun to see our friends pass by.

I now live in Sonoma County but frequently visit our little family home on
5th Avenue.

I will be sure to attend next year’s 70th Posey Parade. The parade is quite
different from the huge floats I remember, but I am so pleased San Bruno
continues the long tradition of a fun community event.

I absolutely love the Posy Parade. It is the one day that our entire community can get together and enjoy San Bruno. I performed in it last year as a flag girl for Parkside INtermediate… so much fun to walk down the streets looking at all the people who are enjoying the parade. Great description of this timeless parade!

Karin,

I have lived or worked everday in San Bruno since I moved out here from the East Coast in 1976. For some reason San Bruno does not carry the best perception. I don’t really understand. It has so much to offer with the Posey Parade being one of them. San Bruno is very Family orientated. You know another tidbit I recently read about San Bruno is that is has more parks per capita than any city on the peninsula.
Keep up the Great San Bruno work.

Hi Karin,

Great information on the Posy Parade – I might ad that it is the oldest children’s parade in the country!

See you there.
