Scenes from the Miss America Parade, See What Miss New York Carried Along The Way

Every couple years I like to cover the Miss America “Show Us Your Shoes” Parade. For years the parade was just called the Miss America Parade, but in the past few years it’s been called “Show us Your Shoes” parade. My understanding is the gays on the traditional gay street New York Avenue in AC, would ask the gals to see their shoes. I used to watch the parade from that street in the 90s, just to hear the guys request the showing of the Miss’ shoes.

Saturday days parade was one of the dismal events as far as the weather

But the spirit was not dampened as so many fans, many of them women with tiaras lined the boardwalk to enjoy the annual tradition

Someone I rarely see in a parade – Smokey the Bandit

Definitely one of my favorite photos little princesses with their Miss America 2018 Miss America 2018 Cara Mund
