Ashland Parade

123 words.

Cynthia and I went to the Ashland 4th of July Parade on… the 4th of July. The parade can be summed up like this: A large number of (presumeably) Ashland natives walked down the street in the searing heat, while a larger number of people watched them and cheered.

My personal favorite moments were the Kazoo Band and the Croquet Mallet Brigade. The train that smashed through the panicked crowd was sort of cool too (a portion of that sentence was exaggerated for comedic effect). After the parade, several dogs had to be rushed to the hospital suffering from heat stroke after being made to march on the hot pavement. The dogs were treated and released.
