Events continue at a torrid pace, but this weekend will be it except for two events in September. Today, I am posting some images from the Celebration Parade that took place on Thursday evening. There was an antique car parade last night, but who knows when I will deal with those photos. Today is the Annual Bridge (our main) Street Bazaar, and there will be a town picnic tomorrow.
For the Celebration Parade I set up opposite town hall because I thought it would be good to get that fine building in the background. I took dozens of photos, but I will try to be judicious here. The photos should speak for themselves.
There was a gathering at the end of the route: a few speeches, cake and music.
My goodness, this is quite a spectacular event! I love all the historic costumes. And why isn't that man riding his penny farthing?
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, especially cops and robbers.
ReplyDeleteSuch great costumes! I was pleased to see the lady of advanced age being touted for something. Lots of bands too, on portable stages...and I like the flowers hanging along the route. Great choice of backdrop!
ReplyDeleteI love a good parade and this one looks spectacular!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun and what great costumes. You are smart to get there early and pick out the best site!
ReplyDeleteThat first shot is my favourite of the set.
ReplyDeleteAs says the Chinese proverb, you live in interesting times.
ReplyDeleteStepping back into the 19th century?
ReplyDeleteYou did well. I didn't attend many of our 200th.
