Firetruck always leads off the parade
A reminder of things to come
Marching in step is not as easy as they make it look
Every parade needs a marching band
Flashy sports cars - always a crowd pleaser
Do not attempt this at home - they're professionals
Boring, and second rate-----scrap it-----waste of energy :-(
ReplyDeleteamalgamate all our small under attended parades into one big one, on Bathtub races day. It's a no brainer ! We are a mid sized town, with just enough energy etc.. to put on one major parade---not 3 or 4 small half-arsed ones.
ReplyDeleteLet 's do it right next year----a bash on bathtub days, full- on parade, with bands, floats and all the trappings---kid stuff, food trucks….you name it----then fireworks that night.
maybe we can make ourselves proud
Now that I could get behind easily :-)
ps I forgot to mention, as well. we are now very very well known for our Nanaimo bars. So how about we capitalize on that around the same time.
ReplyDeletemaybe a 'choose the best nanaimo bar, with a prize for the winner'. A 'sweet' festival in town. One that 'out-of-towners' would readily recognize.
Nanaimo bars have made it through all the noise , and we are literally known internationally, for our confection.
As far as I can see, we aren't taking advantage of that at all, aside from a cafe crawl.
