The parades of summer

Nothing like a small-town parade on a holiday weekend.

We typically have at least five to march in

both Memorial Day and July Fourth weekends.

They are busy, hot and extremely tiring

but part of life with multiple bagpipe bands.

Can never get enough of fire trucks, tractors,

flags, children, vintage cars, horses, the military

and, of course, pipe and drum bands.

Our busy parade season is now over.

There is always next year.
