the thing that really stood out to me was how many folk were involved. ellijay is not big. gilmer county is bigger than ellijay, but still, not big. if I had to guess, I’d say about 20% of gilmer county residents were either in the parade or sitting out in the cold on the sidewalks of ellijay watching the parade.
and folks, I am a “fuck a parade” person at this stage in my life. I’ve been in parades - lots and lots of parades, from a pretty young age - and I’ve even been in big parades, televised parades even, and I am over parades.
but watching the little holiday parade wind past the store last night, I hated coming to the realization that despite not being a parade guy, I think we need to run a weird float in next year’s holiday parade just as a palate cleanser from all the fashy bullshit.
sometimes taking action means getting together with your friends and making something weird and then making it everybody else’s problem.
