Summer's End Festival Parade

The Thursday before the Summer's End festival we got a call from Ft Wayne that Great Grandma Abbott had a major stroke and that the end of her life was near. We rushed up there to see her and spent the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Abbott and were able to say goodbye to her. But in the midst of the family emergency we had to go to Rossville for the Summer's End Festival Parade. It is the one and only parade of the year and Scott could not miss it.


Cara and I waiting for the parade to start
Daddy and his band
more band....
more band....they certainly looked big this year
And tractors....small town USA is famous for lots of tractors in parades
Cara loved the train in the parade
and more tractors...

Great weather for a great parade. Cara made out like a bandit, nearly every ride in the parade threw out candy. We are sad we didn't get to enjoy this festival this year but it was more important to us to head back to Ft Wayne right after the parade.
