Checking to see if this link works for a carnival slide show.
(Please forgive my copying and pasting from the other group, but I just don't have the patience or time to do this all over again!!)
It was such a perfect day for the parade yesterday!
This slide show link works fine, but pictures are smallish and don't show what it was really like. So I'll post some of my favorites on here, too. This parade went on for over two hours, and these are just a few of the highlights of the myriads of floats that went by. Music was booming from nearly every float, and there were several marching bands, including our own high school band. It really gets people out of the woodwork up here each year!
