Let’s start with a confession.
I am not a professional videographer.
So why did I shoot video at this morning’s July 4 parade in Ontario, California?
Because I had previously resolved that I needed to recommit myself to video.
And today was the obvious day to recommit.
Oh, and there were two other reasons.
- I know a lot of people who write today’s date as 4/7. In other words, they do not live in the United States. Most of these people have never experienced a U.S. July 4 celebration, and this post is a convenient way to share a 4th of July parade with them.
- There are a lot of businesspeople in California’s Inland Empire. They write the date as 7/4, and these businesspeople need to communicate with their prospects and clients. If Bredemarket can’t fulfill their videography needs, then what the heck CAN Bredemarket do for them? A lot, as I’ll explain at the end of this post.
But first let’s look at some parade videos and pictures.

The videos and pictures that I DIDN’T take
Obviously this is not a complete document of today’s parade, which had well over 50 participating entries. There were a few notable omissions:
- Horses. Sorry for not capturing any horse videos or pictures this year.
- Twirlers. The girls (and at least one guy) who were twirling were exceptionally good.
- Itty bitty cars. I didn’t see the Shriners this year, but there were at least a couple of participants who drove itty bitty cars around.
- Those danged bagpipes. Locals know who I’m talking about. I lived near Upland High School for a few years, and was “blessed” to hear them practice early on some mornings. Jeff Pope, they’re yours.
But at least the videos and pictures that I DID take give you a little bit of a taste of what a U.S. July 4th is like.
IE businesses are now wondering what Bredemarket CAN do for them
My European friends can tune out here. This next part is addressed to local businesses.
Specifically, I’m talking to local businesses who need to communicate to their prospects and clients, and therefore have a need for written content that inspires your prospects to find out more about your products and services, and hopefully purchase those products and services.
But before you create that written content yourself, or have someone (such as Bredemarket’s John E. Bredehoft) work with you to create the content, you need to make sure you create the right written content.
