Josiah & my mom
Josiah waiting for the parade...
You know you are watching a "Hick" parade when...
the retirement home puts a bus full of seniors in the parade,
The crowd cheers that the lumber trucks that go by. The City talent show winner has his own float and each entry gets it's own prize.
The only saving grace of the parade was that it is an offical SEAFAIR event so we get the cool stuff like...
Seafair clowns
The Vigilantes
and of course, the Seafair pirates. They are a great group and the have a very loud cannon that goes off. That is why Josiah is covering his ears. It caught the attention of one of the pirates. All three of these groups (Clowns, Vigilantes and Pirates) spend their time and fund raising money for sick children and childrens hospital & the Make a Wish foundation.

My friends were both Strawberry Festival queens back in the day (their mom ran the festival FOREVER!) it's a great small town fun thing!
Hey, Cori,
One of those little old ladies in the parade is my great aunt. We heard about it for weeks before and I am sure we will hear about it for weeks to come....
