Geographers can be found sometimes in the parade and always on the sides, cheering as the motley assortment of sillies traipse by. All costumes are self-made. All floats are hand-powered. Anyone can participate. For a few more photos, taken on this gray, though brightly spirited day, go to the Solstice 2003 page. Susanna Baumgart.
