Lions Parade in Seattle

One of the highlights of a Lions International Conventions is the Parade of Nations. This parade normally lasts about 4 hours. Lions from all the 172 nations march in this parade in costume of their nation.
This first picture has Idaho's own International Dircctor Gary D'Orazio who is completing his 2 year term at this Convention.
The incoming Lions International President is from China. The Chineese delegations had some exceptional costume.
Who would have thought that 50 years ago the Space Needle built for the Worlds Fair would be such an important part of the Seattle skyline.
Even in the dark it is still there.
