Every year since 1995, in correlation with Olympia's Arts Walk and in commemoration of Earth Day, the Procession of the Species parade makes its way through downtown Olympia to delight the thousands of spectators and visitors who line the streets, hang from lamp posts and perch on windows. Although it rained throughout the morning, the sun came out just in time to highlight the parade, making the bright colorful costumes appear even more brilliant. Each year the parade seems to get better, and this year's procession topped it all. I love the sheer excitement and delight on the faces of the children. This creative and inclusive event typifies Olympia for me.
