Anatomy of a Southern Fesitval Parade....

"Watermelon Fest 2010"

Staking a claim for the best viewing area and anxiously waiting the start of the parade!
(Note...my niece was smart and brought a book to read.)


Watermelon Fest '10 part 1

Military band......local high school band.....politicians (especially in an election year!) ....pageant queens.....fire trucks.....tractors.....Shriners.......candy

Watermelon Fest '10 part 2

Hillbilly Shriners were the funniest and they do this in 100 degree heat for such a good cause.


Watermelon Fest '10 part 3

Good Parade= Replica of Dukes of Hazzard "General Lee
Great
Parade=Two replicas of the "General Lee"

Best part of the day is after the parade.....


Our annual dinner from the local Piggly Wiggly.

So....what's missing??? A pic of some watermelon! Due to the extreme heat and above said dinner, we missed the free watermelon.

On a sad note.....my Tigers lost this weekend to our instate rivals...twice....at the CWS and they are now home. Sad day in Tigerland today but better luck next year! Now....only 70 days until football season.

If you made it this far, thanks for visiting! Stay cool....
