Turns out Penfield has a parade! Started at 2 PM on a sunny day. down the main street just down the road from us. Very handy. The boys both wanted to go, and who was I to deny them? Took an hour and a half, filled with 4+ marching bands, several fire departments (good thing there wasn't a fire) and politicians and judges, and assorted other groups from the local Tae-Kwondo dojo and gymanstic studio to the library's float. The kids were pinned to the side of the road by the (peanut-free!) candy which various groups tossed to the waiting crowds.
Below are some highlights.
 |
| The start of the parade: the mounted police. |
 |
| The first of the old-timey fire engines |
 |
| The display belonging to a local Christmas tree farm had Santa driving a tractor, pulling a flat bed with bales of hay. Right in front of us, the tractor broke down and had to be towed by the pickup in front of it, which was apparently there expecting this problem. |
 |
| The surprisingly good fife and drum corps |
 |
| Monster truck! |
 |
| Men in kilts. And women, for that matter. |
 |
| Several conciliator Muslims. |
 |
| The final float was a steel drum band. Also surprisingly good. |
