The Festival
Autumnal Greetings, One and All. Today, we bring news of the Monroe County Fall Festival in Ellettsville.
We were there at noon to watch the parade, featuring Ellettsville Elite. The grand marshall was a man who owns a small business that sells signs, vehicle graphics and window tinting. Other paraders included school communities, church folk, tractor drivers, young cloggers, equestrians, parade princesses, and firepeople in sky blue trucks.
Missing from the parade: floats.
Don't want to be overly critical, but floats are parade essentials. I recommend a careful reading of How to Organize a Parade when organizing for next year. This website clearly states:
One exciting element to consider for your parade is the inclusion of floats.
We're not mad at you, Ellettsville, but next year we sure would love to see some floats. Think it over.
On the good side, the paraders threw out gobs of candy. We stood near a mom whose kids had a whole bag full. I joked that the mom could use the parade candy for Halloween handouts next month. Mom told me that she was planning exactly that. Doy. Way to state the obvious, leeway.
I nabbed a couple of Double Bubbles. Husbandman scored a mini-3Musketeers.
After the parade we moseyed over to the festival booths. We watched some young cloggers and HM ate a pulled pork sandwich.
