Right on, Smurf! Sadly, I know just the type of shop you mean. It was a large part of why we moved 4 hours south to our new home town 2 years ago. It was a fantastic change for usBut, sadly, that shop up there is still influencing kids in such an irresponsible way. Sorry to hear that it's in the wonderful state of Colorado, too.
Sending butterflies to knock some sense into that shop owner....
Any chance you can send one of the photos in to the newspaper or an online magazine with a caption "what's wrong with this picture?"
Hugs and butterflies,
~T~

From everything I have heard of Boulder, I am really surprised that happened there!

Boulder children, in a parade, without a helmet? The shop just shot itself in the foot! Quite an error, eh?

The parade was in Frederick, not Boulder.
To live up to the stereotype, Boulder would not allow a high carbon footprint vehicle like a pickup truck in a parade, much less allow the kids to go without lids.

I totally agree with everyone's comments here. That said, where were the parents? If it was my kid, even if the shop stupidly didn't require helmets, I know I wouldn't let my kid participate without a helmet. And what about the parade organizers? Shame on everyone for dropping the ball on that one, but especially the shop owner who knows better and, as you said, is in a position of authority on the matter and a position to set an example for others.
