Description: Sure, you can see politicians waving American flags in
just about any run of the mill Independence Day parade. But politicians being
required to poke fun at themselves and wear a funny hat? You'll have to go to
the annual Doo Dah Parade on July 4th in the Short North Arts District of
Columbus to see that. The Doo Dah parade shows "sarcasm at its
finest" and celebrates liberty & lunacy. It's not a rally or protest
of politics, but invites participants to poke fun at issues and current events in
a humorous way.

Description:
You can hear that music already can’t you?! Based on Peter Benchley's
best-selling novel, Steven Spielberg's 1975 shark saga set the standard for the
Hollywood blockbuster while frightening millions of moviegoers out of the
water. A rogue shark terrifies the Atlantic resort Amity Island. Police
Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) suspects the worst, but Mayor Vaughn (Murray
Hamilton), mindful of the lucrative tourist trade and the approaching July 4th
holiday, refuses to put the island on a business-killing shark alert. But after
it becomes obvious there is a serious problem, the Mayor orders the local
fishermen to catch the culprit. Satisfied with the shark they find, the greedy
Mayor reopens the beaches, despite the warning from visiting ichthyologist
Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) that the attacks were probably caused by a far more
formidable Great White. And soon, they come face to teeth with the enemy.
