Tomatoes, the $100K Pension Club and a fine Americana parade
On our little cul-de-sac we have a Fourth of July parade that harkens back to “the good old days.” Young and old participate, and multiple generations of families show up. At eight years in the neighborhood, we’re the newbies on the block. But my grandchildren have participated the last few years, so even the newbies are spanning the Independence Day ages. Decorated vehicles, animals and people – accompanied by decked out wagons, bikes, horses, donkeys, tractors, tricycles, scooters, dogs, chickens, Big Wheels, roller skates and more – show up to socialize, enter a category like “Bikes Under 5” and parade the street led by Master of Ceremonies Nick Zukowski. It’s a blast, a hoot, a slice of Americana pie and it reminds me of how proud we all should be to live in this great country.
