July 4th in Columbus can only mean one thing – It’s Doo Dah time again – let’s have a parade.
As usual there is some political satire.
Some play on words (read the sign)
Characters

An eclectic band.

Even more characters.

A dancer from the Rocky Horror Picture Show burlesque group.
Even the Swing Dancers of Columbus were making statements this year.
And with that the zombies headed home and the parade was done.
