A 4th of July Parade made for me!

I drove to Hamilton, Ohio on the 4th of July to attend Hamilton's parade with my mother, sister, et alia. The main attraction for us was 95-year-old Uncle Gordon, who was riding among the WW2 Veterans. To my delight, the theme of the parade was "Celebrating Hamilton's History/Robert McCloskey Centennial". Floats depicted the native son's picture books, with ducklings being especially prevalent. I was especially gratified when a mock doughnut machine went by! After the parade, we attended the program on Courthouse Square, which included a talk by Nancy Folmer about McCloskey's life. There was also a harmonica solo in his honor. Here's a link to news coverage of the parade by the Journal-News. Now I just need to get my hands on a Lentil T-shirt!
