  • Summary

  • On July 4th, 2024 in the small town of Junction, Texas, the whole town was buzzing with excitement for the annual Independence Day parade. As the firetruck leading the march slowly made its way down Main Street, confetti exploding from the cannons on either side, everyone was having a grand time. That's when the dinosaur showed up.

    In marched a full sized Triceratops, wearing a cowboy hat and holding a small American flag in its mouth. It took its place behind the firetruck, occasionally letting out an enthusiastic roar that seemed to say "Yeehaw!" The children watching from the sidewalks went wild, cheering and throwing handfuls of candy it happily sniffed out of the air. The dinosaur's handler, a local rancher named Buck, smiled proudly as he strolled beside the elaborate costume.

    How did Buck acquire such a thing, one might wonder? As rumor has it, he won it in a late night poker game down in Del Rio the previous weekend. His opponents simply couldn't believe their eyes when he laid down four aces. Whatever the true origins, the Triceratops was a smashing hit and helped make Junction's Fourth of July parade one that nobody there is ever likely to forget. Even the mayor, when presenting Buck with an honorary citation afterward, admitted he never expected to see a dinosaur stealing the show. It seems in Junction, Texas, anything can happen - even 65 million year old surprises.
