El Riad Shrine Hillbilly
Clan #161
The
CPSC parade unit, Hillbilly Clan #161, parades in
communities
all around eastern South Dakota and western Minnesota
throughout the summer, has been to a number of Imperial Shrine sessions
and every Midwest Shrine Association Summer Session since day
one. We're officially affiliated with the Shrine Imperial
Hillbilly Clan and donate 100% of our fundraising efforts to Shriners
Hospitals for Children. You won't miss the Hillbillies in any
parade. They're outfitted with the best water guns you can
mount
on a 1929 Ford Model A flatbed truck and an early '50s Hudson Pacemaker
- and produce the best acrid clouds of "parade smoke" you'll ever see!
Add a few "Hillbilly Hawgs" and it's a sight to remember.
In early October, 2011, Hillbilly Clan #161 created its first
"Outhouse" by initiating a number of our brother Nobles from Sioux Falls
and authorizing them to carry on the Hillbilly tradition along South
Dakota's "Eastern Range."

loving, outstanding Shrine
ambassadors - and absolutely dedicated and active members of the Corn
Palace Shrine Club & Hillbilly clan #161.
