Meh … riders of Rex were skimpy on throws this year.
Kids were disappointed until the truck parades.

They had a blast after Rex.

Rex skimpy two years ago as well. Maybe their stock portfolios are sagging.

It’s absolute filth passing by my home currently. No idea how the city allows them to continue to parade

Most Rex riders ride in more than one parade.

Only complaint i ever had about truck parades is that no one really throws anything.

As the truck is passing, they might get 1-2 throws out

We had the exact same experience with our kids this mornig.
Rex throws one bead at a time. No one likes that.

I used to find that the truck parades were better than Mardi Gras parades. Especially better than Rex. They rode bc they wanted to throw and were not stingy. It’s been a while so maybe things changed.

Rex is always skimpy. At least they changed up their signature beads. They used to have the worst bread in carnival.

Truck parades are the warmup for the even trashier St. Patrick’s Day parades.

Rex is a status flex for the rich. They could care less about throwing beads to people.
