Not at the parade mind you, in the parade — at least a float of their design. The mom-daughter team, who live in the Casa Linda area, entered the department store’s Great Elf Adventure [...]

In keeping with [...]
By Bruce Felps Our final look at this year’s Lakewood Fourth of July Parade comes courtesy of Woodrow all-alum Kyle Rains. As an added one-time bonus, a few photos from a neighborhood fireworks watching party also made it into the mix. Until next year, enjoy. Thanks to Kyle Rains who snapped all the photos.
By Bruce Felps The photo of the Woodrow Wilson High School cheerleaders riding in the Lakewood Fourth of July Parade contains a peripheral interesting tidbit. Jim Hardwick, Wildcat class of 1978, snapped the photo of the cheerleaders, among whom rides his daughter, Rebecca. The family’s Woodrow cheerleading lineage traces back to Rebecca’s sister, Ginny, their [...]
