San Diego: Practitioners Win First Place Award at the Coronado Independence Day Parade (Photos)

By Dafa practitioners in San Diego

(Clearwisdom.net) The Coronado Island area is acclaimed to be as beautiful as a painting. It is connected to San Diego by a bridge. Besides the beautiful scenery, there is the famous structure built for the English royal court, and the romantic story of the island. Coronado is now also one of the famous wealthy people's residential areas in the US. Holding an Independence Day Parade has been a tradition in Coronado for years. In 2004, Falun Gong practitioners in San Diego first participated in the island's Independence Day parade, and won second prize for their float. This July 4th, practitioners were once again invited to participate in this American Independence Day Parade.

Practitioners learned on the day of the parade that as more and more people applied for participating in the parade, and with consideration of keeping the parade scale small, the organizing committee had to reject some group entries. This year, they not only welcomed Falun Gong practitioners, but after the parade, the sponsor invited Falun Gong practitioners to participate once again and promote Falun Dafa.
