Ashland - July 4, 2012

We made our annual family trip to Ashland to see some plays and eat lots of good food.  As it happens, the time we chose included the Fourth of July.  This is a big deal in Ashland.  The main streets are closed all day for the parade and lots of other activities.  The newspaper said 20,000 people were expected.

Here's a look down the main street just before the parade started.

There were several antique cars.  These were our favorites.  The first one is a 1913 Cartercar.

Here's the Macaroni Noodle Band.  Macaroni's is a restaurant.

The Boy Scouts were up to no good with two catapults slinging water balloons.

And finally, my favorite entry, from my favorite store.  The Websters is a fabulous yarn store.  They knitted a patchwork cover for their car.

It was a fun day, the weather was perfect, and we even managed to squeeze in two plays that day.
