Swedish Days 2016

On Sunday June 26th, Geneva Masonic Lodge #139 participated in the 2016 Swedish Days Parade. It was a warm and humid and our float blew a tire less than half way thru the parade.

Being men that don't give up, the participating Masons grabbed the American flags that were proudly displayed on the float and along with our banner marched the rest of the way, one of our Brothers calling the time out to March to!

Make sure to look for us next year. We may march instead of ride!
