Another Small Town Parade - Part 1

I learned at the feed store that the Tri-Town summer festival parade would be the next day in the tiny hamlet of Brasher Falls, so I made it a point to be there. The parade began with the American Legion:

Next in line was the marching band from Chateaugay Central School, nearly an hour's drive east of Brasher Falls:

A clown on roller skates with a flowing, rainbow banner. He was really quite talented:

A country singer in the back of a pickup truck:

The Tri-Town summer recreation program kids. The three towns are Stockholm, Brasher and Lawrence - all too rural to afford much on their own, so they pool their resources:

A country band on the back of the truck:
