It didn’t rain on our parade! The Ventura County Parade marched down Main St much to the delight of parade-goers and participants alike. Many thanks to the members of the Ventura Elks Lodge #1430, who did a wonderful job, as usual, of keeping everything running smoothly.

If you missed the parade, you can still catch it on CAPS-TV. The parade will air on Channel 6 on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for two weeks. For Time Warner cable customers, tune into Channel 36 at 5:30pm daily until Aug. 13.
