If you are looking for the dancers they are found on another video on my RU-vid channel; that video is called Paso Robles 2013 Pioneer Day Sweet Dancing in the Street. This video features the Parade and the Bean Feed.
This parade was in 2013 and is a beautiful slice of small town Americana set in the north end of the California Central Coast country. A few minutes into the video of the parade you will see machines you've never seen before and in great shape too because the local citizens love and honor their roots in agriculture. Recently the land around Paso Robles has also become wine country BIG TIME. Paso Robles, because of the new wineries and other factors, is very quickly going through a transition from country to upscale. You need to come visit soon if you want to get a feeling of its origins.
Yes this is a long video for RU-vid but if you stick with it you'll get a sense of how sweet Paso Robles currently is from the little kids to the established adults all of whom found a place to march in this parade. There is a tradition connected with Pioneer Day of giving everyone in attendance a free bean (chili) lunch and you will see near the end of the video many Lion's Club members digging into huge pots of beans and ladling out chili and filling bowls and the containers brought from home by folks standing in very long lines which moved very quickly. It seems the whole town showed up for the celebration, the parade and the feed because there were thousands of people there on this beautiful October day. I hope you get the feeling from the video that this day and this event were blessed. The babies knew it too because I worked the entire parade route while shooting video and I did not hear a single baby cry. Look at the kids. Do they not seem happy?
