It's raining...Parade anyone?

Every Labor Day for the last 3 years, it has rained out our parade in our little town("rain on our parade", that's funny). This year was the 50th anniversary of the Kinmundy Fire department, so there were extra festivities and happenings in our city park. Today there are all kinds of crafts, food, games and music and the all important parade! Mind you our town is very small, 900 inhabitants, so this one event (which is the ONLY yearly event) is a big deal. All was going fine, kind of cloudy, breezy. We were selling the heck out of corndogs and curly fries, lemon shake ups. It is always fun to be in our concession trailer. Lots of work, but still fun! Heather was making us laugh, she is such a nut. Then, alas, it was 2:00, time for the beginning of the parade. We heard the fire sirens which signal the beginning of the parade, then, suddenly, torrents of rain, pouring down. However, you couldn't keep the people of Kinmundy from having a great time...On went the parade....floats, marching band, instruments dripping with water, kids on decorated bikes, 3 wheelers, horses and riders. Everyone just stayed and had a grand time. I thought this was really cool, that the rain didn't stop us. Everyone was dripping wet. Some kids were skateboarding on the tennis courts in the rain, falling down, getting muddy, they didn't care. Some littel girls were actually dancing out in the rain. It was actually a fun day and everyone in town seemed to be there. We made alot of money and now I am tired, but wanted to catch up on my journal. Tomorrow back to the ice cream shoppe, just 6 more days and I will be closed. Just 8 more days and mom and I will be traveling to Evansville, Indiana for the Clay Aiken concert at Robert's Stadium. Lots of our claymate friends are going, can't wait. but, first, 6 more days of work.....waahhhhh!
