Dena
decorated the float that was used to hold the 3 winners. She did a great
job (don't tell her).

Kathy was kind
enough to revamp our Genuine Duck Race sign. The sign was made by Dena's
friend, JoAnne, way back when. It currently read 2nd Annual and now
I needed it to read 5th Annual Rubber Ducky Race.
|
|
|
She did a dandy job!

The parade starts
out at Dena's house. I asked Dena once whether we could get a parade
permit from the mayor of Cypress Mill and have the parade go all the
way down to the 2 buildings that comprise Cypress Mill, but she said
she didn't think they had a mayor and anyway, they did not allow parades.
I think she made up that last bit, but ever since then, we have run
the parade from Dena's house to the Bunkhouse and back.
Notice the sign...it
looks GREAT!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dena was the Parade
Marshall, and I told her NOT to look around like this. Her duty was
to look forward and lead the parade...geesh...you just cannot get good
help these days!
By the way, the
duck umbrellas were donated to the cause by Marguerite Bundick of the
Bay City Art League.

I
decorated the "other" ducks float. Dena said I did a pitiful
job compared to her winners' float! Humph! Okay, she MAY have been right,
but SHE didn't have a genuine duck hat, did she?!!!

Notice
the Roscoe is helping out! Mary Friday had the perfect outfit for the
duck race and was dressed in yellow!
|
|
|
|
|
Bringing
up the rear and place of honor was the winners float!
|
|
|
|
|
The
parade proceeds tp the Bunkhouse and comes back around to Dena's house.

The
tail end of the parade was looking sad as they came up by the Bunkhouse.
There was some grumbling about "nobody said we had to go back to
Dena's house" and Just LOOK at this pitiful winners' float...it has
a "U" shape to it and the Pea-King keeps falling over!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See?
He keeps falling over! Geesh...complaints...complaints...complaints!
|
|
|
|
|
The
front of the parade arrives way ahead of the back of the parade...so the
parade went to hell in a hand basket! That's what makes the retreat so
much fun! Nothing evers comes off totally right!!! How boring would that
be!?!!

I
took a picture of a snake in the grass along the parade route. I had to
look close, because I thought it was Dena! HA! Oh, no, I forgot...she
was not the judge this time. I take it back, Dena!
