Quesada Street Parade 2017

Quesada Street Parade 2017

Postby Chico Latino » Sun Aug 06, 2017 2:26 pm

Having thoroughly enjoyed last years street parade through Quesada, which was very entertaining, and lasted the best part of 2 hours. I am the only one who thought this years was very "thin" on the ground?

It lasted all of 40 minutes, and contained about 6 themes.

Can I just also say thank you to those who did take part, and put in the effort, and also a thank you to the organisers.

Though, Is it maybe time for the council to fund this parade (if they do not already) or maybe a large prize to encourage more people to take part?
Something has to be done, or I have a feeling his parade may fall by the way side. Hope not.

I have to agree with you, last year's parade was so much better with lot's more content, I do hope that we are not seeing the demise of such a valued event in Quesada.

I fear that the only 'value' in the event is for the Don Carlos and a few street vendors.

From my point of view, the parade was an unpolished travesty.

I live right on the doorstep and am convinced that the whole festival was a let down compared with previous years. Pity they have to make so much noise but that's another subject!

Dont think it would matter how busy it is, nothing would be louder than the 5 am disco sound, lol. Also dont think the previous poster was that concerned with the noise in all honesty - just a wee cheap shot.

The parade was not on its knees last year, it was fantastic last year. This year though, I have a sneaking suspicion that funding was not as forthcoming as in previous years. Something just not right.

I also agree with a previous post in that the only ones who really benefit are those who get to set up "shop" out on the road way to sell their produce. :text-givemebeer::text-givemebeer::text-givemebeer:

I went down there last night and I was distressed to hear a cat being strangled.
Strangely though and having a keen ear, there were hints of the Sinatra song ´My Way´in the poor creatures screams.
I wonder, does anyone know if the poor thing was rescued?
The screaming went on for about four and a half minutes which again, coincidentally, is about the same length as that song, weird. :shock:
