PHOTOS: Rowell Ranch Rodeo Parade Marches Down the Boulevard

Not even a torn up thoroughfare could dampen spirits when it came to this year's .

This year's parade route was shorter than usual, but longer than last year's.

Neighbors sat on either side of Castro Valley Boulevard, waving American flags and enjoying the sights and sounds of several floats and entries in the parade.

Take in some some of the festivities yourself in the photo gallery above.
