Blossomtime Parade (Berrien County spotlight) -- political overtones in 2011

from HeraldPalladium dot-com story posted May 7, 2011

A bevy of Blossom queens, 18 bands, 28 floats, police officers performing precision drill routines on motorcycles, and a distinct whiff of politics.

Who could ask for anything more in the annual Grand Floral Parade?
The 2011 edition of the big parade steps off at 1 p.m. Saturday at the corner of Pearl and Main streets in St. Joseph. The 118-unit parade, an annual salute to area agriculture, goes north on Main Street, turns east on Ship Street, goes over the Bicentennial Bridge, and then proceeds along Main Street in Benton Harbor.
