Clowning Around at the Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade

A record crowd turned out for the 47th annual Palm Desert Golf Parade along El Paseo Sunday.

Clowns, balloons, a carousel and men on stilts marched down El Paseo Sunday as part of the Palm Desert Golf Parade.

(also known as Marty Funkhouser) led the parade as Grand Marshall shortly after 1 p.m.

The parade likely drew a record crowd of more than 15,000, according to organizers.

Check our photo gallery above and submit your own photos of the parade.

Were there no golf carts from local golfers? Too bad photos were of everything but . . .

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. IRead More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.
