The Swallow Festival Parade is the Best. Any one can join - there are no forms to fill out - just show up at the starting spot before noon and get in line.
The parade begins when the Queen gets in the special Swallow Truck.
This year Keith got Gertie ready for the parade, washed her, new side mirrors and windshield wipers, a bail of hay, our Lucky plastic rooster and a couple of signs that read "WC FIELDS - Making Hay and Getting Laid....Eggs that is!"
We wore our best "farm" outfits. We were ready to go, but Gertie wasn't.
She didn't like the stop and go slow pace of the parade.
Before we got on the main strip her engine temperature was reading 190.
When she got to 210 degrees we killed her engine and pushed the old Gal.
But it was all Good!
A few photos, taken by me, our friend Esther and my brother Richard will make you feel like you
are there!

Looks like a lot of fun! Too bad Gertie couldn't take the stop and go pace. Was it difficult to push?
Hahaha...I wondered how Gertie would make it! I love your hair! So hip :)
