PARADE!!!!!!

there is a festival going on over the weekend called the water & fire festival. they burn wood in the lake to revitalize the lakes minerals.

tova and i were going to go for a long walk (ended up being over 7 miles!) and we noticed that a main intersection was closed off. we were wondering why when we looked down the road to our left and saw the festivals opening parade!!!!!!!! seriously it was awesome, and its only about 5 minutes total:

here is the 2nd video:

we will give more updates, and throw up some pictures later on today, we just HAD to put up the videos, it was SOOOOO COOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!

the torch at the front was the main fire for the festival, and it was awesome. sorry if it was a little shakey, i tried to keep it steady, but i was too excited!

well, its really late so i am going to go to bed, i will update more in the morning!

  2. How wonderful you happened upon this parade marking the beginning of the Water and Fire Festival. It goes on through the 14th I believe, so you should be able to keep the great pictures coming! As always, LH&P.

  3. This marching band looks too downtown usa for me .. i don't see any non-us instruments in it (by that i mean none that you wouldn't see in a parade in main street usa). how much do they do normal instrumental things there?
