The Big Parade!

I spent the past week in Minnesota. They have a huge fair and parade every summer called The Giant Celebration (Green Giant was based there for years). I haven't gotten to go to Giant Days since 2000 so I was very excited! I took a ton of pictures of the parade to show y'all. Parades in MN are huge! This parade was just over an hour and a half long and had something like 7 bands and I think there were 5 sets of Shriners driving their fun little cars. I wanted you to all see how huge parades and fairs are in MN, this one is in a tiny town of just over 3500 people!








It was super hot in the sun that day. This is my friend's little girl, Bella. Her grandmother and my mother have been friends since kindergarten.







So most of the bands that were in the parade stopped playing just before they got to my spot. So annoying! This group in particular spotted my camera, one guy screamed CAMERA and they all came running. I was so excited!




I couldn't get a very good shot of the street and the crowds but I tried!
Ha ha ha...Corn!
