July 4 Parade 2009

[HowieT2]

My report:

Could have been better if I'd found my buddy. I had the number2468. That means I was able to shout "2 4 6 8". Do you have any idea how many times I heard "Who do we appreciate?" in response? But, "That's my number"...? No! that's because noski checks to see what number I have and rushes to the other side to get the matching one. She hides it until the prizes are gone, and then puts it, and 8253 copies everywhere.

But do I get it? No... It is Charlie Brown and the football!

For the record, I personally went thru the leftover badges really early this morning and confirmed that #2468 was not among the 'unsold' badges. It was out there somewhere....

Great parade. Big crowd considering the ominous skies.
Susan, Nice job keeping the rains at bay for the entire parade. The rest of the day was a washout.
