Sacred Snake Parade Delights G A R Crowd in Waterloo
Delegates and visitors at the G A R encampment watched a 46 foot sacred snake of Cottapunaz dragged through downtown Waterloo by Spanish war veterans. A troop of native Filipinos in grass skirts accompanied the creature, scattering spectators as they cavorted and seized attention. The snake was shipped to Mason City for the encampment and the event included a parade led by the Greater Waterloo band.
