it was very much a small town holiday parade. it went right past Hemlock Bazaar, so I had a pretty good view of the whole thing from the front of the store.

starting it off were four kids in camo fatigues as the honor guard for the whole thing, almost marching in time to the cadence one of them called.

then came the blasting of the sirens by a few cop vehicles.

then there were some trailers dressed as floats pulled by pickup trucks with people on the floats being variously active.

then the high school marching band and flag squad, who were excellent? they’re good. great by rural school district standards in my long experience with rural school marching bands.

then a bunch of jeep owners who’d put holiday lights on their jeeps.

more floats, mostly from local churches, one from the local scout troop.

a propane delivery tank with holiday lights.

some old cars, mostly without any adornment because it might devalue the old car.

a few more floats.

then it was over.
