Hadley is a small town with big parades! This year was the first time we have been in or seen their 4th of July parade (we came up to be in the Harvest parade last year) and we had heard that it was the biggest event in Hadley yet! Starting in a field filled with tractors, old cars, horses and lots of people the route rolls through town,winding through neighborhoods and then heads back to the parking lot while passing the tail end of the parade itself! Several of us were able to ride in the back of "Rusty", the Bryson's old truck as John drove and throw candy and waving to all the people! Though it ended sooner than we thought and we had to quickly head back home for family celebrations, we all had a great time and will definitely remember this day and parade for a long time!!
Our new and long time dear friends, Mr. Reiche and Vicki.
The modern colonial man! =)
Watching from the side lines! From here on Faith had the camera since I was in the back of Rusty.
The line of Semis and Fire trucks ready to go! Boy were they loud!!
Though hard to see, this shield said Faith on it!
Tractors...
tractors...
tractors...
tractors....and more and more tractors...too many to put all on here!
...and then there was the oil pull! Quite the machine!
The excitement of the event was when the fire trucks went by. We were told before hand that whoever gets too close to the edge of the road will get drenched by the firemen! Many people had super soakers and water guns handy when those trucks went by to try to spray them back. What a blast!
