Bay City Anniversary Parade and Music Concert

 

 

Yesterday, Sunday May 18, the 17th Annual Bay City Parade and Concert took place. The event is to celebrate the founding of Second Life's largest urban area. Yours truly missed the front part with Marianne McCann taking the lead, but I caught the second half.

 

 It went well aside from the drawbridge near the end suddenly going up. A couple people got dunked from the mishap.

 

 

Following the parade was the music concert at the Bay City Fairgrounds, with DJ GoSpeed Racer spinning the music, followed by Aubryn Melody.

 

 

People danced away, with one guy floating. And there was a conga line.

 

Happy Anniversary Bay City
