Made the time I spent there just that much more painful. Thankfully, that is in the past.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-17508529271820596442014-07-05T13:16:17.916-07:002014-07-05T13:16:17.916-07:00Big city parades have a lot of glitz and glamour, ...Big city parades have a lot of glitz and glamour, but these little ones are true Americana.

It is a relief in this day and age to see kids who still hold traditional values and are willing to step up.
