4th of July - 2006 and 2007 

Harry loves parades, actually, who doesn't. But Harry likes to be in the parades and somehow or other we always end up getting involved in the Milton 4th of July parade almost every year. Many a float has been built in our garage - Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, 4-H Club, Milton College, you name it. Many times we have our own entry. When I was young I decorated my bicycle. Later we kids sat up on top of Dad's gas truck and threw candy. After Harry and I were married Harry and his dad would have the ponies or the mules pulling wagons in the parade. One year we rode in Harry's mom's old mail wagon. When he was still in the Fire Department Harry always rode on one of the fire trucks and threw out candy. Harry's tractors are used quite often to pull floats. One year Jackie won first place when she put her Studebaker wagon in the parade, all decorated up and pulled by a team of horses. One year Harry pulled Aaron, Cole & me through the parade in the wagon that he made at home. In these pictures, taken in 2006 and 2007 you'll see that he's still doing the parade thing.
