Hinesburg celebrates 250 years as a town this year, so our July 4th parade theme was Hinesburg’s birthday. Several people who made floats for the parade had the same idea–to create a giant cake. Here they are, with some bonus pics.
Getting Things Started, 1762 Style
The Most Genuine Float–No Vehicle Visible
Lorax Motif
Cake and Cupcakes
This One Won Best Float
Plus Firetrucks. What’s a Parade Without Firetrucks?
The kids are pretty dang fired up. The lights are lit. Cookies are on the table. The big man comes tonight. Tomorrow we will have a fine family celebration. Thankfully we have that. I’m pretty excited myself. Hurrah and all that. Hurrah for Christmas.

Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!
