I spent Saturday working at the Thornhill Village Festival, manning a library information table with a co-worker. It was by far the coldest day of the summer (we're still technically in summer, right?), but there were advantages.
For one thing, I got to play with a bunny puppet all day (and yes, I will give it back).

Another advantage was the front row seats for the parade.

What's a parade without bagpipe players?

Followed by an incredibly cute troop of Beavers!

There was a guy in a motorized bathtub (with a motorized outhouse following behind him)

And two gorgeous Clydesdale horses, pulling a large wagon. I miss horseback riding sometimes.

Not sure what the heck this is, but it sure made a lot of noise!

There was a clown, towing some penguins around (we saw this guy a few times during the day)

And the recreationists for the mock-battle

These guys were the other side... I don't know who won.
It was a cute festival. I'd go next year as a visitor, except I think I'll be manning the booth as long as I'm working at my particular branch... but I don't mind. It was fun!

That looks fun! Mike's recreationist group wants to participate in some sort of walk for charity... wouldn't that be hilarious to watch people's faces?
That looks fun, I went to a similar July 4th parade with my sister. She was "Mrs. Louisuana" (Town name, not state) and rode on a convertible.
P.S. Please update Sailormoon: VOID! Your loyal subjects miss their Queen Azura, O great writer of fanfics.
