In MA (and in ME too they tell me) we celebrate Patriot's Day . It is a big deal and our town has its own parade which was held on Sunday. We sat on the sidewalk flanking the site of the bloodiest battle of the day. I hope Jack appreciates how amazing it is we can walk to a spot where Paul Revere passed on his famous ride!
The parade featured a large assortment of firetrucks, police cars and fife/drum corps, some coming from as far as Westbrook, CT and Manchester, NH. There was also the usual assortment of scouts, mainly brownies and junior girl scouts. There was a jazz band (pictures included) and our town's pop warner cheerleaders, which are actually national champions in their division. This surprised me greatly until I looked at the roster of champions and they are all in NJ, CT, or MA. The big football/cheer states must compete in something other than Pop Warner.
