A North Plains Fourth

Everyone loves a parade and the one held in the nearby town of North Plains this afternoon was well attended.

It had to be one of the world's shortest parades -- the local police chief, scout troops, a restaurant or two, people walking their dogs, clowns, the North Plains Garlic Festival Queen, some classic cars, a huge dump truck from Recology, a nearby recycling and composting business, and a few more I can't recall.

Most of the folks in the parade were tossing candy to the crowd, but one enterprising dentist in a hot rod actually threw small tubes of toothpaste. That had me smiling...

This young fellow caught my eye. With that wave, he's well on his way to becoming the mayor one day!
