Close-up photo of a person dressed up as the Piggly Wiggly mascot - a human-sized, anthropomorphic pig wearing a blue striped shirt and an old-school butcher's hat and apron. The pig is facing the camera and waving with both hands. The background shows a partially-furled American flag and a hazy, light-blue sky.
Photo of a green and yellow horse-drawn wagon being drawn by an old-timey car (Ford Model A) in a parade. The car is cream and orange colored. Background shows green trees and a lamppost with a UNC Pembroke banner.
Photo of the 2025 Lumbee homecoming parade taken from the middle of Third Street in Pembroke, North Carolina. A line of trucks towing parade floats extends down the street into the distance. At least 13 American flags are visible. Spectators and canopies line the street and background.
Photo showing the front half of a retired fire engine driving in the 2025 Lumbee Homecoming parade. The fire engine is blue with white and red trim. The driver's side door reads "Pembroke Rural Fire Dept." Background shows trees, spectators, and a shade canopy.
A few of my photos from Saturday's Lumbee homecoming parade in Pembroke, North Carolina. The high temperature barely exceeded 90 degrees F (32.5 deg C)—cooler than average for recent years but warmer than average since homecoming began in 1968. #EasternNC #OnTheSwamp #ClimateChange
