The Fourth of July parade is a VERY big deal in our small town.
Though I’m no expert on crowd size, I’d guess maybe a thousand or so individuals lined the parade route this morning (a distance that would be about five city blocks if our town was big enough to have blocks -- which it’s not.) There was a military color guard, our local high school’s marching band, vintage cars, new convertible cars (carrying beauty queens,) scout troops, and dignitaries.
I saw one person parading by with a lamb on a leash and someone else leading a pony.
Our parade is both funky and sweet, and it’s something folks here look forward to every year.
