(Clearwisdom.net) BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. Under a rich blue sky with fluffy white clouds, hundreds of people lined the streets of Breckenridge, Colorado for the annual Fourth of July parade. Colorado Falun Dafa practitioners received a warm welcome from the bystanders as they took part in the parade.

Breckenridge is a small ski town located in the central Colorado region of the Rocky Mountains. The town has become well known for its popular July 4th celebrations.

The practitioners carried banners while several practitioners passed out informational flyers to the onlookers. Also part of the Falun Gong procession was a beautiful lotus flower float on which practitioners demonstrated the exercise. The beautiful music of Pu Du and Jishi were played over a sound system as the crowd waved and cheered.

One bystander ran out from the crowd and helped hold a banner. He exclaimed, "All right, here we go!" with a smile.

The parade announcer said that he felt unusually calm in the presence of the practitioners.

At the end of the parade, a member from the group walking behind the practitioners said, "It was so peaceful following you."
