At my town's 4th of July celebration beer

party in 2016 and '17! And in 2018 , 2019 2020 non-parade 2021 2022 2023 2024

and parade.

It was great fun to wear this stars and stripes USA flag outfit to my town's 4th of July parade. Lots of people loved it, heard that people were very positive about having seen me wearing this outfit, and took pictures of me in it, most with their friends next to me as group pictures.
Here I'm a chick magnet

An old friend, after viewing this web page, wrote me: "That's cool! Your Stars & Stripes duds are a keeper! Made you a likely legend among the locals and apparently, a chick magnet!" Also got several s, s and s on !

K4HB: "Gotta admire the company he keeps at beer parties. I'm jealous of a beer drinker who can stay slender."

Sent this above picture of us celebrating to a friend to say "Happy Birthday". He responded "Thank you Bob! Looks like life is VERY good for you based on that photo!"

Just one snark:

"What's your deal dude ?? You dress up like a tool and now you want to look at the pictures 6 months later ?? For what purpose ??"

↢ She's got her phone out, about to take my picture after some beer!
The kid next to me in the Capt America Tshirt is not my son. ↣

Just some guys here below, everyone in flag themed clothing.

"Nice guy." "What a non freaky looking guy" "Yup. Totally normal. BTW his suit is rubber." "Nice outfits"

Yet another year (2018) on the 4th:

Before the beer there was the parade, and some Gatoraid. The above left picture got 33

s on

! A friend said "It’s the right suit 4 the 4th." Above right: "Aw Ben was so happy to meet Robert!"

Two ladies and a guy from Australia
Chick magnet again
And I wasn't just posing for pictures, I was talking with people (I'm nearly completely hidden above right)

A portion of an above image, this portion shown above right, I posted on and it got 13 s
And later on at the local Burger King

Something like 60 pictures people took of me with them. "Capt America" most people called me. "Where did you get that?", here, (get the chlorination finish, makes it easier to put on) "Isn't it hot wearing that?", "How do you survive wearing that rubber suit in 93° heat?" and similar questions. I said "I kept hydrated and stayed in the shade a lot. It wasn't that bad, actually." The weather wasn't that hot. And I could feel breezes cooling me thru this latex rubber suit and I didn't get that hot, as long as I stayed in the shade. I drank about a liter of Gatorade at the parade to keep hydrated. So I was comfortable. And it was a great experience wearing this outfit.

And on 4th of July 2019:

"I'll say this, besides being a snappy dresser, you keep good company."

Later that day at Burger King:

Someone on Facebook photoshopped this.

Slide show of all these pictures and a few others, many repeats, no audio:

No parade or beer garden on the 4th 2020 because the COVID hit the fan, but I did have some food and drinks with friends.

And at a backyard celebration:
Mike says he's going to get an outfit like mine. Photoshop preview. I'll believe it when I see it... Prove me wrong, Mike!

"Thank you for the birthday wishes! Had a great day, which included a surprise visit from Robert Casey, Mr. JULY 4th himself at the Lombardi's annual 4th of July bash! Rubbersuit Bobby, I am going to recommend you wear a headband and wristbands for next year!"

2021

Happy Fourth of July! We are thrilled that the annual parade with all of its traditions is back! Looks like I'm one. school collage.

More chick magnetism:

A couple on a motorcycle saw me walking to the park and parade. They wanted a selfie with me.

(I went to the dark side and got myself an iPhone and brought it with me):

Patriotism sure does have its benefits…!

"Chick magnet!"➧ rock on!

2023 4th

The grove was all muddy because it rained a lot recently, so they put us on the softball infield

Caught me blinking.

2024 4th

The Oradell board of ed at the 4th of July parade wanted to include me in one of their pictures. The lower right picture of this poster they made:

They still didn't use the grove, but put us south of the softball field

"Chick magnet!"➧
MV sez "Glad you are with friends Bob and your outfit is superb."

sweat getting in our eyes
Lou said "Bob, that outfit serves you well."
