Today was the annual local community parade and fair. Well, it was supposed to be yesterday but it rained all day so the festivities were moved to today. See the dark sky behind the trees in the photo? Yep, it rained today too.
The theme of the parade and fair this year recognized the 100th aniversary of our lovely hamlet, thus the one-zero-zero on the car. Riding in the car were 94-year-old G and 6-year-old M. (Get it: 94 + 6 = 100.) When it started raining about 1/4 into the parade we snagged the numbers off the car and used them as makeshift umbrellas, and put the top up on the 'vert' keeping G and M (and driver D, not to mention the upholstery) dry. Even with our handy dandy zeros-masquerading-as-umbrellas we were soaked. Soaked! Let's just say there's a big ol' reason there are no post-parade photos.
It might have rained on our parade but we made the most of it. The downpour quit about the time we made it to the fair. Our rain soaked selves started working the booth, visiting with friends, sitting in the sun in hopes of drying out, blowing up balloons, and just being goofy. We left 3 hours later, somewhat dry and - get this - sunburned!
