Yes it does, and they had brass (and more) to spare on Pepper Drive this morning as they celebrated Independence Day. We've got pictures of Pepper Drive and the Sonoma Drive neighborhood parades after the jump.
Pepper even had an equestrian unit ...
... and an ATV unit ...
... as well as alternative vehicles of all kinds.
At the same time, Sonoma Drive and environs held their annual parade, which has been going on for over 50 years by anyone's reckoning.
They may not have had a band, but they did have Craig Boatman's classic 1954 Austin A40 pumping out patriotic tunes.
The Sonoma Drive party always ends with a great neighborhood gathering.
Martha Wilson takes on ice cream cone dispensing duty.
Hot dog! It's Independence Day!
