I don’t know what it is about parades, but I do really love them. My brother in-law Kirk always is surprised when I sincerely ask if I can be part of the parades he does during his campaigning. I look forward to BPD (Big Parade Day) each year here in Monroe. When I was in the Majorette and Drum Corp most of our competitions were during parades and then of course we marched in other local parades. I don’t know what it is about being in a parade that I love but I know that it probably started back when I was in grade school.
Today in our housing development they had their annual July 4th parade. The kids in the neighborhood get their bikes, trikes and strollers decorated and then when the streets are blocked off they make the trip around the block. It may not seem like much but I remember when I was in grade school that our subdivision had a July 4th parade and to me it was a big deal. We would either decorate our bikes or dress up in a theme costume. One year, along with my younger sister and brother we dressed up like the Fife and Drum painting and we won 1st prize, I still have that ribbon packed away in a box.
So every chance I get I will be in a parade, it’s just a special time for me.
