Parade Day

Tuesday of the fair in our small town is Parade Day!  The town virtually shuts down and many visitors plan on getting to town by 1:00 p.m. in order to find a parking place and get to their favorite location to watch the parade.

We spent the morning getting our yard ready for the festivities.  Lawn chairs out by the curb - check, picnic table up for the Ping Pong Ball Drop - check, house (kind of) cleaned up - check!  There was activity all along our block:  American flags were displayed in the yards, some of the neighbors were having potlucks and many people were getting set up for Walk Down Medina which was to start immediately after the parade.

Friends started arriving around 1:00, so the visiting began.  The atmosphere was carnival-like and it was time to relax and enjoy the parade.  The hour long parade had something for everyone.....
