I hope you're all geared up for Labor Day Weekend! I know I am! My parents get here Sunday and my small town doubles in size with all the festivities on Monday. One event I always enjoy is the Labor Day Parade. So I went searching on Etsy to find items that remind me of our annual parade.
As a kid I remember wanting to go for all the candy!

As I got older, the parade became about playing in the marching band.
And yes, I carried the bass drum!
There are always lots of horses at the end of the parade. And when I was just out of high school, Jesse and I rode double in the parade one year :)

And there are always lots of fire trucks...from my own town as well as the neighboring towns.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Love your Finds, that horse is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! Parades are always fun and super entertaining. Have a great Labor Day weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your finds, the toy truck is awesome and I love the horse painting!
ReplyDeleteCarrying the bass drum must have been fun :)
Carrying the bass drum is a nightmare as far as I know! I have played in marching bands (I play trombone and euphonium) but bass drum? Wow! Heavy and hard.

How fun! I wish we had a parade here for Labor Day! Or maybe we do and I'm missing out. I'm going to look into it! haha
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Edi!
Sounds like a great time! Enjoy the long weekend:)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Our town has a parade in the little downtown area, but we're not going because it's a nightmare to get around! Small streets aren't meant for lots of traffic. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! Do you have photos of you with the drum and of you and Jesse on the horse? That'd be cool to see! My dad was the fire chief of our small town so I got to ride on the truck with him during parades!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun way to spend the holiday weekend and you found some great items too! Enjoy the time with your parents! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend. Hope it's not too hot to enjoy the parade! Love the art print! so cute! {:-D
ReplyDeleteThe bird is too funny! I love the vintage truck, too. Have fun this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! Ahhhh! Parade memories! Cynthia marched in the band with a snare drum. Thanks for featuring my horse artwork, "Crystal", and thanks to everyone for the kind comments!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat representations of Labor Day! I for one am looking forward to my 4 day weekend...
ReplyDeleteYou carried the base drum? That's awesome! Can't wait to see pics of your day on Monday!
