Summary
Here is a parade photo taken in front of Kaplons with the sign for what was then Fisher's Shell Station across W. Potomac Street. It's hard to tell if the parade celebrated the dedication of the Potomac River Bridge in August 1955, or the Diamond Jubilee in September, 1965. There was also an unseasonably warm Veteran's Day Parade in November, 1961.
Some clues to date the photo are the 1950s era vehicles and the spectators' clothing styles. The spectators appear to have enjoyed the clowns in the mobile bathtub promoting Bridge's Shell Station in Purcellville.
