Parades and Fun Days 2017

Tweet

I love summer in Minnesota. During the winter we are stuck inside -- but in summer so many things happen. Little car shows, outdoor free concerts, movies in the park, and county fairs. Also most towns host a city event. And in the small town where I live that event is called "Fun Days", a little event that lasts 3 days. There were amusement rides, games for kids, food stands, on all of the days. Sometimes there was DJ music and one night, a live band. The local library hosts it's used book sale during that time and, like usual , I found a huge amount of books. Also the town's city wide garage sales happen during this time, I went to a lot of them! I actually didn't find too much - and this is alight too. (Do you like garage sales, or rummage sales as they're sometimes called?) I ate dinner a couple of days at the food vendors -- I enjoyed my "taco in a bag" and "Bbq chicken and rice". Also I got to play bingo at 10cents a card I even won once -- I whole dollar and change. :-) This year I got to see the big parade (seriously it takes , like 3 hours) and seeing all the floats and marching bands. Do you like parades? What is your favorite part of a parade? Or do you avoid them? Also I bought a badge -- they are numbered and if you have the right number you can win prizes. Mine didn't win... that's alright! They also hosted a medallion hunt, the "finder" winning $100. Imagine my chagrin to discover that the medallion was hidden under a mailbox within a stone's throw of my apartment. In all a very fun event. Does your town host such things? Do you like these events? Photo: Mine - taken of a food vendor at Fun Days this year
