Yesterday, it was small town for me.
At noon, I watched the Spring Grove, Illinois, parade. Doesn't get much more small town than that. As usual, lots of antique tractors showing the village's agricultural heritage. Theme this year was luau and several same-themed floats.
I liked the float for Richardson's Corn Maze this fall which will be based on the Beatles' 50th anniversary. Their luau float featured "The Boys" playing in concert, complete with Beatle wigs and Hawaiian shirts. The guy on the tractor pulling the float was especially funny with all his antics. Somebody was having too much fun. And, yes, they were playing Beatles music good and loud.
After that, we went over to a friend's house party in nearby Johnsburg.
Then, back to Horse Fair Park in Spring Grove for the festival and got to see a long-time favorite band of ours, Mr. Myers, playing their Trop Rock/Reggae/Buffett music. We've been following them since 1981 at Andy's in Dekalb, Illinois.
We came home and watched the Spring Grove Fireworks from our driveway for the 21st time in a row (well, actually 20th for me as in 2000 I was in Rome, Italy, and they don't observe the 4th there for some reason. I had seen a fireworks display a few days earlier at Lucerne, Switzerland.)
