 The Los Alamos Shrine Club wins second place in today’s parade. The Shrine of North America is perhaps best known for its colorful parades, circuses and clowns. But there also is a serious side to this international fraternity of approximately 400,000 men belonging to 190 Shrine Temples throughout North America. For more than 90 years, the Shrine has operated a network of specialized hospitals that treat children with orthopedic problems, burns and spinal cord injuries free of charge. The Los Alamos Shrine entry was led by Steve Gough, 2021 Illustrious Potentate of New Mexico, from the Ballut Abyad Shrine Temple in Albuquerque. Included in the Shrine line-up is the Los Alamos Shrine Clubs’ 1925 Model ‘T’ truck and the Los Alamos Shrine Club Motor Patrol Go-Karts. Photo by John McHale/ladailypost.com
