(Clearwisdom.net) On August 7, 2004, the annual Corn Festival Parade was held in La Habra, Southern California. Falun Gong practitioners in Southern California participated in the parade to display the beauty of Falun Dafa to local residents and to expose Jiang's group's brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

Though the sun was blazing, many residents were waiting along the street to watch the parade. When the Falun Gong practitioners appeared, they attracted many people's attention.

The Falun Gong practitioners' entry was composed of a dance group, a waist drum team and a float. The practitioners demonstrated the five sets of exercises on the float. Many people were attracted by the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere, and imitated the exercise movements along the roadside. When the practitioners who distributed Dafa materials walked by, quite a few spectators took the initiative to learn the facts about Falun Gong and thanked the practitioners for their efforts.

Falun Gong practitioners won the first prize award for the parade and an award for best overall float, which made the Falun Gong contingent a special focus of the spectators.
