Each year, Dave and Mary Garrett lead the 38th Annual 24th Place July 4 parade in the family Ford.
Over three decades ago, 24th Place residents Dave and Mary Garrett, the Beals and Noel Castiel rallied their neighbors for a Fourth of July parade. Every year since, neighbors have decorated their pets, cars and bikes and paraded up and down what may be the steepest hills in Hermosa. The parade follows the Garretts’ white Ford pick-up, that’s as old as the parade, itself, along no certain route. But eventually the parade ends up back at the Garrett home at the bottom of the hill.
