We
cannot tell a lie. It rained on our parade, and it was chilly. But
as you can see here, the rain failed to dampen spirits. The parade
went on, and the bands were great. The rain tapered off as the parade
went on, and was gone as the parade ended. Your webmaster and his
camera both got wet, but we got enough photos of the parade to prove
that a good time was had by all! Your webmaster regrets that he had
to return home to Maryland early Sunday morning due to an illness
in the family, so I was unable to visit everyone that I wanted to
visit and was also unable to get the photos that I wanted from Sampey
Park. Bob Zundel came to the rescue, however, and his photos are here.
Thanks, Bob! |

This is a welcome reminder
that Perryopolis is in the midst of some wonderful farm land. |

Last year I wrote “Cyril
Griglak is Always Colorful, Always Entertaining.” This year,
however, Cyril outdid himself. This gifted folk artist spent many
hours building this spectacular float and decorating the tractor that
pulled it. |

Perry’s own Frazier
Band is really good! Above: At first I couldn’t tell
whether this young lady was standing at attention or frozen stiff,
but she did march on when the time came, so I guess she was just at
attention. Left: I dubbed this photo “The Headless Hornman.”
He, too, was good! |

Craig Martin
and Dan Martin. I am greatly indebted to Craig for allowing me to
use his beautiful home as my base of operations in Perryopolis. Dan
is very much involved in the Marine Corps Reserve Toys
for Tots program. |

Last, but by no means least
-- thanks to the Perryopolis
Parks and Recreation Authority, Washington’s Grist Mill has
an overshot water wheel again. |
