Jump-In Parade
The 32nd Annual New Almaden Day began with the traditional Jump-In Parade at the New Almaden Community Center on Bertram Road. Here are pictures of the preparations for the parade and festivities at the Community Center, followed by the parade itself, which started at the Community Center, went down Bertram Road, and looped back on Almaden Road past the Casa Grande, then came back to the Community Center.
At the Community Center, Mike Boulland instructs young volunteers on how to handle the carnival games.
Inside the Community Center, pastries are for sale.
New Almaden pillows and other donated items are being auctioned off in the silent auction.
Outside, cars and other vehicles are being prepared for the parade.
