2022 Waynedale Memorial Day Parade #5

Polaroid snapshot of flags flying from the back of a pair of four-wheel all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) at the 2022 Waynedale Memorial Day Parade. There are several American flags, a couple of Indiana state flags, and a "Thin Blue Line" flag. The thin blue line flag symbolizes support for the police.

I photographed them in the parking lot of the Waynedale United Methodist Church, which was the staging area for the parade, before it began.

Waynedale used to be a small town in rural Allen County, Indiana. Although it was annexed by the city of Fort Wayne in 1957, Waynedale still looks like a small town. Fort Wayne has an annual Memorial Day parade, but Waynedale has always had its own parade, too. The Waynedale parade starts at Waynedale United Methodist Church and runs north on Old Trail Road to the Prairie Grove Cemetery.
