The Hopkinton Field Days Parade was mostly fire trucks (see also Part 1, posted yesterday) from all the surrounding towns and hamlets. This one was from West Stockholm, NY:
JWJ Custom Kitchens:
St. Regis Falls:
The banner on this float said "Nicholville Rec Committee" and was full of children (and one little dog, being carried). I'm guessing it's the town's summer recreation program for kids:
The Girl Scout troop:
And.......um, what is this?
It turned out to be the Hopkinton Historical Group and included a fiddler, livening up the parade with historic tunes:
This was a mystery to me. The little wagon had cushions in it but no riders or displays. Maybe his kids were planning to ride in the wagon but then backed out:
More fire trucks, this one from Norwood, NY:
This retired fire truck appears in all the local parades and is for breast cancer awareness:
Even the "big" village of Potsdam was represented:
The parade always ends with horses, placed last so no marchers accidentally step in horse manure. There were only two horses this time, one of them my neighbor who carried a sign for suicide awareness:
