Labor Day Parade in Kinmundy town

Here are a few pictures of floats in the parade........


I like this one, there were girls wearing miner's hats on the back of the power techniques truck.Of course, Kids on bikes.......
Richard Pollard on one of his many inventions....

Ancestors of some original Kinmundy families.......
This is my favorite picture from the Labor Day celebration today.
There was a nice big crowd in the Kinmundy Park to celebrate our susquicentennial.
There were lots of fun things for kids too.

Just this last week the Serenity Garden downtown was completed next to the post office.

Some high school graduates and their teacher designed and painted this mural on the wall of the car wash. It represents many of the things that created our town 150 years ago, mainly the rail road. You should really enlarge and see the detail.

This building that looks like an old time cafe, was painted entirely on a plywood wall. The doors are real. At one time there was an actual restaurant in this building, but has since gone out of business and the windows were boarded up. I was fascinated by the detail that was painted there. There is a "Help wanted" sign in the window.
It was very hot today, 100 degrees and searing sunshine. Many of my pictures are too light because of too much light. Anyway, I thought the pictures reflected how the heat felt, so I didn't adjust the lighting on them.
Back to the parade.........

The marching band.......

The politicians......a good time was had by all....and thanks to the Masonic Temple for serving free lemonade and iced tea on the scorcer of a day.
