In other news, 26 former Indy 500 princesses, including yours truly, joined in the festivities at the 2006 Indy 500 Festival Parade. It was a great chance to get together with some old friends and help support the festival. Although it was hot, we had a great time being part of the parade once again. We were starstruck as we waited to load onto our float when we saw Helio Castroneves, Tony Kanaan, Danica Patrick, Michael and Marco Andretti, Scott Dixon, Sam Hornish Jr., Dan Wheldon, and of course Dario Franchitti and his beautiful wife Ashley Judd. It was a wonderful, sunny day that was a great preview for the exciting 90th running of the Indy 500!!
