It's fair season and I'm goin' travelling

Glenn and I in past years went almost every weekend to a different fair, rodeo etc. within a days drive of our home. We had a blast and saw stuff we ain't never seen before LOL. Today was the start of the Oakbank fair, so over I trotted to see the parade. It lasted about 45 minutes and was spectacular. In our neck of the woods, parade participants .......

throw candy at us to see if a) we are awake, b) see if we are watching and c) see if we can catch. If we successfully catch, then you go to the next step which is baseball....that starts in about an hour and guess who is gonna be there - yup me!

Some pics from our local yocals. One of the Sunova floats, actually the other one was a bus. The lady with her hand in the bucket is about to throw a handful of candy.

 Wouldn't be horse country without horses. I use the term horse country loosely. It isn't like Kentucky, and it definitely is like good old Alberta, but fo us this is as good as it gets.

The next pic is of one local realestate team----they sure don't look to me like they want to be in this parade.

This picture is of  a gentleman from the Dinner Theatre. They do one show a month from October until April. Looks interesting, will have to attend one.

Our local high school band. We don't have a marching band or all the other kind of bands, just plain old band. They played well though.

No parade is complete without vintage cars.

RM of Springfield's new toy. Can hardly wait to see what this baby can do to our roads!

Some of our local heros a.k.a. firefighters. They have really been put to the test this spring, but have come out shining. Gotta love those fireguys and gals.

Well, that in a nutshell was the parade. Now, I am off to a lacemaking day, then on to baseball and see what else the fair has to offer.Have a safe day and enjoy the afternoon - remember to take time for yourself.

Blessings
