    Default New England Small Small Town Parades

    I live in a small town. Its still got alot of farm fields and tractors. I live across from a farm thats been in operation 100 years. Towns got a Mcdonalds,Dunkin donuts, local bar, 1 "fancy " restaurant, multiple package stores,farm stands, and pizza places and one small and one large grocery store. Thats about it. My wife and I grew up in town, married and raised our kids here. I'm not a city guy...I need space around me. I don't mind visiting the cities.. but I am small town through and through.

    We have a Memorial Day Parade that I have marched in when I was a scout leader, and my kids have marched in it in Band. Its small but even on a rainy day like this past one, its got a real home town feel to it. I snapped some pics this year. Had my camera and lens all wrapped up in the rain.

    Heres a taste of a New England Small Small Town Parade!

    Great Pics! I'm in small town CT too so I know exactly the charm you speak of. Love my small town parade and I too marched in it as a Brownie, then Girl Scout, my kids marched in it and now my Grandkids! I always tear up when the Vets march past. This was the first year we didn't have a fly over with the Jets, not sure why though.

    Thanks for sharing Al and great pics...my type of living where everyone knows your name.
    Unfortunately I was raised and so far lived out my life in a large, loud and over populated city and putting a toll on me.
    There has been thoughts to settle in a small town once the kids are on their own and I retire.
