Representatives from the Boulder Dam Credit Union tossed wet cloths into the crowd to help cool them off.

Those on this patriotic float came prepared once they entered the wet zone.

The Boulder City Elks Club was one of several groups or businesses who had booths at Broadbent Park following the parade.

The Shriners and their mini mobiles are always a crowd favorite during the parade.

Thousands turned out to Veterans’ Memorial Park for the festivities, which culminated in a 30-minute fireworks show.

Emcee Mike Pacini, who has been entertaining Damboree attendees for years, tosses beads to the crowd Thursday evening.

The Boulder City Veterans Flying Group, pass over Lake Mead Thursday morning, once again helped kick off the parade.
