Checking Out the Local Scene

This weekend our usually quiet town has a big festival, and it starts off with a fun parade.

This year was an extra special event, the Budweiser Clydesdales were here to lead the parade 🙂 It was the biggest turn-out I’ve ever seen for the Summer parade!

The parade theme was Pennies for Progress. Locally there is a penny drive going to rebuild one of the parks. There were lots of Penny themed floats, but Thade’s favorite was the little white house, it is so cute.

Of course there were plenty of Cars, Trucks, and Tractors in the parade. Our next door neighbors were in the parade too 🙂

Both Thade and Dylan loved the parade. Thade made sure to wave at everybody, and he came home with way too much candy 🙂 Dylan had fun looking at all of the people and he really liked the cars.

But like all great Midwest parades it was cut a little short thanks to a Summer Thunderstorm 😉 We got out a little early, and went out for Ice Cream! It was a fun parade, and I can’t wait to check out the festival this afternoon, I just hope that the stormy weather stays away for just a bit.

 

I hope that everyone is having a great weekend!

  1. Sounds like a very fun time! Hope the thunderstorms stay away 🙂 Thanks for a peek at your town……Ellie

  2. Thanks Ellie! It seems like we have had storm after storm, but that won’t keep us away from the festival this weekend. It is fun to walk around and check out all of the booths.
