The Order of Lashe's

The Order of Lashe's ball was a lot of fun. The ladies seemed to be in good spirits despite having their parade rained out Tuesday night. They were discussing their options of parading the next evening or on Thursday after the Stripers. Their was suppose to be a chance to make that decision the following day. According to an article in the paper they were not given that choice and were forced to parade in the rain the next evening while the Order of Venus who is a newer organization was allowed to parade on Friday evening after the Crewe of Columbus. I will watch for more details as this saga continues.

The Lashe's did finally parade on Wednesday and even though it was a wet evening it was not cold and the parade looked terrific. The ladies never disappoint even in the worst of conditions.
