Shamrocks Baseball - Final 2008 Game

A beautiful summer night at Affton Athletic Field was the setting for the Shamrocks final game of the 2008 season. As the Shamrocks bleacher bums looked on, the team beat the Raiders in another exiting game. We know in our hearts Coach Bob was right there on the third base line coaching the boys in their game and in their character, cheering them on through every hit and every miss, and watching in pride as the boys finished the season in a much improved 4th place over last season. Good job boys!

St Louis Metropolitan Police Department Employees, Retirees and their Families were invited to march in the 131st Veiled Prophet Parade on Friday July 4th, 2008 as the department celebrated it's 200th Anniversary. Col. Joseph J. Mokwa, chief of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department served as the Honorary Grand Marshal.

It was beautiful morning with a cool breeze as parade participants assembled at 8:00 a.m. in downtown St. Louis. By 10:00 am as the parade started, thousands of St Louisans and Cubs fans awaiting the start of the afternoon game lined the streets to cheer on various departments and units from the SLMPD as well as the St Louis Fire Department, military bands, the Shriners, 17 floats, clowns, unique vehicles and seven giant helium balloons.

Following the parade, St Louis Metropolitan Police Department employees and families gathered at a private hospitality tent catered with great BBQ, drinks and treats as they enjoyed the remainder of the parade.

Note: For those who participated in the parade I will be dropping off a couple of discs with a few different units at the department. The originals digital photos will be of higher quality and perfect for printing.
