Part 2 – The Parade
Though I am not a “crowd person” I always have fun watching a hometown parade. This one opened with local fire trucks.
Our cheerleaders
A local float
Our niece Chelsey waving to us
A local insurance company
People across the street. (Jeanie Stauffer – do you recognize the people on the left?)
WRE: Weekday Religious Education
Our granddaughter Gloria is on this float.
There wasn’t enough light for me to pick up a good picture of her.
A picture I took when she came back to us after the parade.
Old car
How about that extension table? I counted eleven chairs on each side – plus one on each end – seating twenty-four.
A local bank
Sauder Eggs
Darrenkamp’s Grocery Store
Manheim Christian Life Center
The rain had stopped for awhile – but about this time it began again.
A marching band from a visiting school. I enjoy seeing other marching bands participate in our parade.
Our crew of parade-watchers was made up of family and friends.
My favorite part was the old tractors. They seem to be so appropriate for a farm show parade, and I love the putt-putt sound of the old engines.
Owners and their dogs
Miniature horses
Manheim Christian School
One of Manheim’s newest churches. Our nephew Donald Rhoads is driving the tractor.
A local business
More tractors
Pedal tractors
One of the last floats was Shady Maple Catering.
Beautiful!

I was cold and wet when I got home, but dry clothes and a cup of coffee soon warmed me up.
