Annie Oakley parade goes forward through rain storms

The Annie Oakley parade started this morning at 10am with menacing skies. Two short, but very intense, downpours pretty well soaked all the parade participants and spectators (unless you were lucky enough to be watching from a covered porch on Washington Avenue). Check out the photos carefully ... and you'll see the melodrama actors getting drenched. And there are no photos of Minority Leader John Boehner and his driver Lyn Bliss, who scrambled to put the roof up on Dave Knapp's hot blue Mustang convertible.
