Swaledale Big Days...err, Day

Swaledale had a town festival this weekend - it consisted of a short parade and maid-rites in the park while enjoying the performance of dancers from a local kids' studio.  Claire really liked watching the little girls dance and even wanted to join them on 'stage!'  Ten and twenty years ago it was a big deal that spanned the weekend, or so I'm told.  Maybe young new families to the area can revive it - I'm thinking a 5K and bringing back the softball tournament.  We'll have to find those young families though...I don't know of any around here but us!

Daddy drove the John Deere G in the parade and threw lots of candy to the kiddos!  Claire, Henry and Mami enjoyed watching and getting lots of candy since all the people we were sitting by were 70 and older and they like to share the sweets that come their way!  ;)


The parade was entertaining!  I love how C and H are watching so intently!
