Every year, the kids and I make the trek home for the Marshall County Fair. And, every year, Dad and his cronies from Bremer Bank have - by far - the best float of the kick-off parade. (I always think "This is it. They are totally going to win first prize!") Bennett participated in the parade last year, as Toy Story's, "Andy". Remember the broken arm, Phil?? This year, Harper was invited to join, and it was right up her sparkly alley, because Grampy was going to be a Disney Princess!!
Yep, once again, Dad was donning a dress for the parade. Disney Characters were the theme, and those Bremer people will not let their costumers down. Pretty sure, Dad wanted to go out with a bang, as this was his last official, unofficial parade. Shhhhhh.... he's going to retire!
Harper decided to opt out of walking the actual parade route, but she did quickly run up to Grampy once she spotted his bright yellow dress.
The parade was a huge success, and Dad can finally retire with the first place ribbon and Bremer so rightfully deserves. The rest of the weekend was filled with my favorite Warren peeps and fair food, and games, and fair food, and more games.
I'm not sure how Darrel's reign on the parade will compare. I guess we will just have to show up next year, and see... Maybe the new Mr. President can hire Dad for a small consultation fee...
