Thornhill Village Festival

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!
