It was hard to tell why the kids were smiling so much - was it because the Somerset Patriots' mascot, Sparkee, was there?  Maybe it was the pair of 50's era Cadillacs?  The line-up of shiny motorcycles?  Or maybe, just maybe, it was the anticipation of another fun-filled year of LITTLE LEAGUE!

Once again, the RRR was invited to participate in Watchung's Annual Little League Parade.  This rite of spring brings together many community organizations to support the area's boys and girls during the opening weekend of baseball and softball.

The parade was lead by the Watchung Fire Department, followed by the Watchung Rescue Squad, a local motorcycle club, and the RRR.  And behind our cars - a sea of kids with their clean uniforms and brand-new gloves!  The RRR was represented by Ray Koziol in his '52 Fleetwood.  Jay Raskin and his '56 Series 62 Convertible were the vehicle of choice for Parade Grand Marshall, Phil Brown, and Sparkee, the Somerset Patriot's Mascot.  The parade route brought us around the Watchung Circle and back to Mobus field, where the call "Play Ball!" would soon be heard.
