Because of the extraordinary impression we left last year, the Silver Spring holiday parade organizer invited us to take part in the festivities again this year.

The days before the parade were often cloudy and rained. The day of the parade was sunny and warm like spring. The decoration on the float came from Philadelphia practitioners. The handmade pink lotus flowers were very attractive.

Every time we finished our exercise demonstration in the parade, people applauded. When we passed the stage, the host introduced Falun Gong to the audience. Many local people saw the peaceful exercises themselves and had a good first impression of the nature of the universe Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Wherever we went, people asked us for Dafa materials or asked some questions.

We felt so happy with the result of the parade because we truly wanted to bring Dafa to more people.
