Shelburne hosts a halloween parade every year. There is a lot of candy involved. While other parades (4th of July, Memorial Day, and the like) have discouraged candy tossing (in the name of safety! Children apparently, run into moving vehicles in pursuit of sugared confections), this parade seems to require everyone in it to toss the sweet stuff. My daughter wasn’t feeling well so it was just the boy (with the tractor costume recycled for a third year) and I. He hauled in the loot, despite his inability to bend over with ease, and willingly shared with his sister. Good kid, he.
As with most parades, the ambulance started things off
There were clowns on carts...
and a paddy wagon of sorts...
and this witch cowboy themed float.
Looks like a stacked deck
And get this, after they all pass by, tossing candy all the way, they turn around and come back to toss more. Like I said, lots of candy.
