Grace & Jeff, the only parades I've seen lately are the bankers ...coming and going looking for deals..the march down the street to each real estate office throwing out candy...shaking hands and kissing babies.

Hi Joan, we do to!

Hi Sharon - It was a hot indiana summer day!

Hi Patty the library book looking float by Purdue North Central university was made mostly of popcorn :)

Hi Steve - We haven't expereinced that parade as you describe - our virtual real estate brokerage model's focus is house calls :)

Hi James- this is the 1st year we stayed to see it - our new office afford the perfect central spot to watch.

Hi Carole - we are hardly ever at the office, but we did pull out a few chairs to sit  in front and watch part of the parade :)

Hi Mike - it was fun we went early !

Hi Irene - we did our am tour of the many craft booths, then had breakfast and this was the 1st year we stayed for part of the parade! Glad you had a great time also.

Thanks kindly to all for taking time to comment.

Sincerely,

Grace

I love the idea of a Popcorn Festival....how cool. Popcorn is a favorite snack at our house.

Your parade pics are great. There is something so American about a small town parade....it brings back many memories of my childhood....thanks for the flashback!

Fresh popcorn is given out free at this festival - but there are so many other forms of food and fun available as well - thanks for taking time to comment Bonnie & Terry.

Sincerely,

Grace
