It wouldn’t be a parade without the Los Alamos Shrine Club Association who turned out in force Saturday and took second place. The Shrine of North America is perhaps best known for its colorful parades, circus and clowns but there is also a serious side to the Shriners. For more than 90 years, the Shrine has operated a network of specialised hospitals that treat children with orthopedic problems, burns and spinal cord injuries free of charge.
