On July 9th, one of the hottest days this year, 4 Brethren of our lodge together with other nobles, families and friends represented Emirat Shrine Europe during the Parade of the 84th Bretzelfest in Speyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a blast throwing candies and handing stuffed animals to injured or disabled kids, we saw a long the way. Eventhough it was really hot (according to the thermometer in the car over 44C\u00b0\/111F) over 15k people where watching the parade consisting of 68 groups and floats. It was an amazing experience and the smiles of the kids made it all worthwhile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the parade we enjoyed a nice dinner at the Gastshaus Waldeslust, which was also a great opportunity to talk to brethren from other lodges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below you can find some pictures of the parade and also a video from the local TV station (we are shown around 39:50 min). Also if you look carefully, you will be able to spot the mascot of the new Emirat Turtle Unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to all Brethren who were able to join and especially to the Brethren from GGW 810a, if you want to participate next year, please reach out to Bro Jonas.<\/p>\n\n\n
