But Sikhs converged on the Mid-Valley from across town and abroad, braving the soaking conditions to cap a weekend of celebration and charity by marching in the 31st annual Yuba City Sikh Parade. Directors of the Sikh Temple Gurdwara in Tierra Buena, the parade sponsor, said Sunday's [URL="http://events.appealdemocrat.com/"][COLOR=#0000ff]event[/COLOR][/URL] attracted more than 45,000 spectators to the four-mile procession. "The best part of the Sikh Parade is that even though it's raining, whether there's sun or there's rain, we're always here to support our religion," said Daman Dhillon, a Yuba City woman among the paradegoers. "Rain or shine, Sikhs are proud." Considered one of the largest Sikh celebrations in North America, the parade attracted worshippers from as far away as New York and London, as well as busloads of visitors making the journey from various West Coast gurdwaras. The weekend of ceremonies, which included Friday-night fireworks and receptions Saturday at the Tierra Buena temple, marks the 1699 creation of Sikh holy book called the Guru Granth Sahib. "Yuba City is world famous" among Sikhs, said Jasdeep Singh, 27, a Torontonian who came to the parade along with several friends from Los Angeles.

Shielded by umbrellas against the soggy and breezy [URL="http://www.appeal-democrat.com/sections/weather/"][COLOR=#0000ff]weather[/COLOR][/URL], the throng spent more than four hours following a succession of floats bore the images of saints and martyrs, the banners of Sikh congregations from Sacramento, Redding and El Sobrante, even 30 members of Yuba City High School's Punjabi-American club. Inching forward at the front of the parade was the wreathed, blue-and-white float containing the Guru Granth Sahib. As the lead float moved onto Tierra Buena Road to the singing of paradegoers, a group of worshippers, some barefoot, slowly swept the asphalt before it with brooms as others scattered flower petals in its path. For some along the parade route, their faith took form not only in the Sikh writings but in front of the Tierra Buena temple and even along the roadside. Sikhs in booths outside the gurdwara and facing Tierra Buena Road passed out plates of samosas, bottles of lassi and other foods free to spectators, in what paradegoers called symbols of the Sikh ideals of service and humility.
