/>I sat for an hour in 28F weather waiting for the parade. It was small and full of those things that you would expect to see in a small town, the dog club, the sherriffs possee, the tracktor pulling a flat bed full of boys and girls, the middle school band, and the firetrucks with santa. After the parade every one gathered on the corner of the old highway and main st and sang carols while they lit the city park. It was very nice, and got me right into the spirit, so I stopped ion the local red apple store and got some cookie stuff and listened to some old fart tell how hokey and stupid it was. We dont have a Macy's parade for sure, but for our little historical town, I thought we did guite well. I sent him on his way OUT of down to someplace he might like better. We dont need any more grumps in this town! Especially this time of the year.

Love it! Thanks for sharing. :)
Everyone does their best. For the children it's magic and that's all that matters.
Enjoy your cookies
Instructions please on just how to send someone out of town. You made it sound easy.
You just point to the Ferry landing and tell him you might have a better time back where you came from! Then run like hell!
I lived quite a few years on Vashon Island and loved the local events one finds in a small town. I was a Jaycee and we put on the Strawberry Festival in June every year. Lots of work but enjoyed by all who lived there. Mt Vernon has a few things like that but we are almost too big of a place now for the real small town activities. Nice photos of your event.
The parade looks great but the town looks better. It looks like a set from a Hollywood movie:)
