Last night I attended our local parade with my granddaughter and daughter in law....it consisted of 144 units and took about two hours. Below is a picture of one of the charaters that walked along the parade route passing out candy! My granddaughter got a ton of stuff including a new tee shirt...yoyo...candy.....deck of cards and other things too numerous to mention. Do you like parades and who is your favorite charaters...clowns? Or cartoon charaters?

I love parades too, and clowns are one of my favorites, and also the marching bands and some of the odd things like the band made up of guys playing washtubs. weird.andd the motorcycle cops doing their things.

I know you all had a great time, especially your granddaughter with all of her goodies. I do like parades. We have a huge on here every year for our yearly buccaneer days. I love to see all the floats plus the buccaneer queen and her court in their beautiful hand made sequined gowns.
Between the two I would say I like the clowns the best for a parade.

I like parades but, I find that I get antsy standing there for a long period of time. I have to be doing something productive. I also avoid large groups of people and loud noise since I have PTSD. The t-shirt sound cool though! How was the weather for you yesterday?

I have an outfit just like the character in this photo. Looks better on him...lol
I do like parades, the characters, clowns and just anything that goes with a parade. We use to take our kids all the time. We had a parade this year in May sponsored by the city where I am employed. It was too chilly and rainy to go. Bummer, I hated to miss it.

Wow, that sounds like quite a parade in your city. The character pic was very cool. And, I can't believe all the stuff your grand daughter got! What a haul! Bet she was excited.
I do like parades but haven't really seen one for years. We just don't get out and get to them. But your discussions sure make me want to!

Hi Jill oh I am so pleased to hear that your granddaughter enjoyed so much, you also of cousre, and received so many goodies. I love to wathc the parade we have a brilliant one in a village near where I live and they even have the Red Arrows fly over. The atmosphere is incredible.
