Marshall of a Christmas parade??

I have not.

Our small town parade was last week.

It’s a decent parade…

Though they don’t allow fo-wheelahs and herses in it.


I know we got some big time dignitaries on the ‘fire…

Anyone had the honor?

Like got to ride the main float for…

Working 37yrs at the tire plant?
Or
Running the local butcher shop?
Or
Saving drowning kittens?

LBP would jump up on the float and hump that Grand Marshall like a Blue Heeler on a toddler!

Andy Williams was at Wall Lakes gig shindig.

I told the man at Wall Lake Used Parts he had done more for Wall Lake than Andy Williams.

The VFW needed a flatbed for the pee-rade to haul our old WW2 vets who were getting too frail for hoofing it. In a fit of patriotism I volunteered my son's old '54 Cornbinder lumber truck, aptly named Lucille (I think you may recall a Kenny Rogers song, You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille). I cleaned the carb, cleaned the fuel strainer, adjusted the points, fresh gas, cleaned the pigeon poop off the hood. Test drove it around the place for three days, ran like a Swiss watch. Well of course, Lucille refused to finish the pee-rade. But the firemen hooked a rope to Lucille and she was dragged across the finish line...sparing the dignity of the VFW somewhat. They haven't called for her services since for some reason. Ingrates.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Not as an official Grand Poobah but I’ve driven and ridden on fire trucks, platform aerial ladder truck and medic unit in lots of parades. Our small town has a cool little 4th of July parade that our children have been in several times. Our son was the starting quarterback and offensive team captain of his high school football team and our daughter was a cheerleader so they made several appearances in the parade.

When I was 9 or 10, a family friend picked me up early the first Saturday in December. His pickup had a horse trailer attached to it with 2 chestnut saddle horses. I came out in my jeans, cowboy shirt, vest and cowboy hat, boots and loaded up. Roy Lee Phillips was the man’s name and he had a twin brother named Lee Roy. He owned horses and acreage and we got to ride them. He drove to the Greenville Mississippi Courthouse and we parked on the backside of the square. We got the horses out, saddled them and joined the Sheriff’s
Posse. Great time to be a kid. I can still hear the horseshoes on the brick pavers and see the sparks. We rode in the drizzling rain but it mattered not. It’s all changed now. Griods own it and run it. Bennie Thompson of J6 fame is from Greenville, MS, Washington Co in the Delta. His district was gerrymandered by Democrats and Federal Judges to become a place you want to be FROM! Few whites can abide to live there. It is a dangerous place, day or night.

My grandmother was Blueberry Queen in the Harrietta Blueberry Festival and one time she got to do the Blessing of the Jeeps at the Mesick Mushroom Festival. So I got it in my genetics.
