Andalusia’s third-annual Fourth of July parade, sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution, drew its biggest crowd ever, both in participants and observers.
The parade of bicycles, golf carts, wagons and other modes of transportation inhabited mostly by patriotic kids rolled from First Baptist to City Hall Monday morning.

Ashton Wells and Ashton Wells Jr. drove this load of cute kids in the parade.
