Hopkinton NY Field Days - Part 2

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:
