Antique automobiles carrying esteemed veterans....
a pipe band....
another pipe band...
By the way, does anyone else feel that bagpipes should only be allowed to play "Danny Boy" and "The Minstrel Boy"? Our patriotic songs don't translate well to bagpipes. Just sayin'...
There were politicians, in this case the Governor of Connecticut, Dannel P Malloy who was kind enough to wave to me, even though I didn't vote for him. He is up for re-election this year.
And finally.... just about every local business was represented.
All in all it was fun time and a nice way to celebrate Memorial Day.
I am jealous. We didn't have bagpipers. I LOVE bagpipers. Our parade was similar, except in West Hartford it seems that every kid in town marches, as a scout, soccer, baseball, martial arts, ballet, etc. etc.
ReplyDeleteWe had a fair share of scouts, schools, soccer players, baseball players etc. I was really surprised with the number local businesses who paraded with their banners.
