This was a fun little event consisting of a six or seven block
parade, with food and craft vendor booths also set-up for the festival.
Danny and Scott trailered their vehicles (M151A2/M416 for Danny and
M38A1 for Scott) to Taylor under somewhat ominous skies. Jeff
towed his MB and John S drove his M35A2 as well. We all found the
parking lot for staging and signed in. The weather was very humid
but the clouds looked like they were going to break to some extent.
John made his arrival in grand style. While backing his M35A2 in
the parking lot, Scott was headed over to assist him. However, before
he could get there, John backed into a light pole in the parking lot. The
tall light began to sway but never fell. There were a few car owners
who were 'not pleased' but it was pretty funny for us. The impact
did put a nice dent in the pole about six feet up and unfortunately wedged
his tailgate shut. No problem there as it should bend back easily.
The parade started promptly at the assigned hour and a few of us
carried 'distinguished guests'. The parade wandered
through the craft and food areas, down Main Street and concluded by the
antique tractor displays. From there, we headed back to the staging
parking lot and parked the vehicles. Next was the search for food
which was successful.
About noonish, the skies began to look threatening so we decided it was
time to load up and head home. While loading, the rain began but as
quick as it started, it was over and only will force us to wash the jeeps
due to the little 'spots' they now have!
But then again, next weekend is Georgetown and it ALWAYS rains - so why
bother???
