Bridges' float in last Saturday's (June 27th) Mequon-Thiensville Family Fun Before the Fourth Parade was a crowd favorite again this year. The float featured NeumaVox, the Bridges worship band. Bridgers also walked along with the float handing out generous amounts of candy and nearly 1000 Music of Bridges CDs with invitations to a free cookout and concert following the parade.

The response from the crowd to the free CD was enthusiastic. Bridgers had a hard time keeping up with the demand. In fact several hundred more CDs could have been distributed.

During the parade a number of Bridgers cooked burgers, brats, and hotdogs and set up for the cookout and concert. Many people stopped by to see what was going on before the parade was even over. Members of the worship band expressed delighted when they arrived at the cookout location. Lots of people were in line for food and more already eating and waiting for the concert. In all, approximately 350-375 enjoyed a free picnic lunch on Bridges in addition to a great concert. It was a great opportunity for Bridges to express the love of God to the people of Thiensville and Mequon.

And, Bridges' parade season isn't over. This Friday evening, July 3rd, Bridges will take part in the Grafton Holidaze Parade. This is Bridges' first time in the Grafton parade.
