I love when I get invited to parades because I know I will have a captive audience for all to witness the Kindness Bus roll by at a very slow speed. Twenty-thousand or so parade goers, along a one mile stretch of road, applauded and waved and some times give a standing ovation.
One of the local celebrities, Slider, the mascot of the Cleveland Indians made it a point to come over after the parade and pose with many people, including me, while raising awareness of kindness in Independence.
Thank you to the Community Services Department of the City of Independence for the invite to be in their parade.
