A little background on the Reunion: The Kincardine reunionsn are held every 10 years and what happens is people who have lived here in the past, or vacationed here (or just drove by at some point!) come back tot he town and there's a huge 5 day party/festival. There are events, games, concerts, parties, parades, school reunions and the infamous Shirt Tail parade (more on that later). The town had about 30-35,000 people come to Kincardine for the weekend, it was insane! Saturday morning we all walked into town to watch the first big event, the Callithumpian Parade. It put every other parade I've ever seen in my life to shame. It was over an hour long and it had everything! Here are some of the highlights:
The crowds start gathering
PJ, Mocha, Lily and Grandma waiting for the parade to start
Kelly and Melissa
Keeping the kids entertained while the parade made it's slow procession from the other end of town, we could see it off in the distance
It finally makes it's way to us!
Blinky the Lighthouse, our town Mascot
The rest of the Reunion Committee waving to me, I wanted to watch the parade, not be in it!
Lily was tired of the view from the stroller
Thomas even came!
I took over 100 pictures of this parade but I'd need a week to upload them all!
