Parade spectators showed great enthusiasm in spite of the chilly weather. With heavy jackets and thick blankets, they went early to wait for the parade.
A young father and his one-year-old daughter watched the Falun Gong practitioners' rehearsal. He had never heard about Falun Dafa before. He was touched when practitioners told him that Falun Dafa improves health and teaches Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. He repeated the three principles and read them to his daughter.

When the Falun Gong procession passed the parade spectators, they couldn't help admiring the group. Many called out, "Beautiful!" Some spectators were surprised and happy when they saw the beautiful lotus flowers made by the practitioners.
