Henricus Historical Park wins best vehicle at the 2014 Midlothian Day Parade

Saturday October 18th, 2014 marked the 21st annual Midlothian Day Parade in Richmond, Virginia. The parade, which is the largest of its kind, draws the entire community every year to celebrate the rich history of the area, with up to 50 local guests and businesses featured in the parade.

This year’s Grand Marshal was Howard C. Canada for his contributions as a volunteer with the Midlothian Volunteer Fire Department for over 43 years. We salute you!

The Henricus Citie Militia represents the Henricus Historical Park every year which is coordinated by Militia Captain Dennis Strawderman. And this year we were fortunate enough to win the Best Vehicle Award. The vehicle is a 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom Open Tourer refurbished by Richmond locals Ron Blackburn & Dennis Strawderman. You can get a glimpse of the car at The Car Club Council Car Show at River City Diner, Midlothian area, Huguenot Rd in the Shops at Bellgrade.
