We held Old Home Day on Saturday, the day after the 4th. Good luck attended us, the 4th was wet and rainy, the 5th, Saturday started out overcast, the Sun broke thru in mid morning, and it was clear as a bell by evening. I did the FCCC pancake breakfast, checked out the flea markets. Then I formed up for the parade at noon with the rest of the up country Tea Party. It was just right, about 70, dry and nice. I'm getting old, it was only a little more than a mile, but it tired me out. We had little kids, lots of politicians, veterans, fire trucks, brass bands, the works. And we had fireworks in the evening down on Dow field.
I was going to attach some photos but they seem to have broken the photo uploader (again).
Try, try again. Photo uploader appears to have recovered. This is Russ Cumbee leading the Tea Party group in the parade. Parade goers line the main street. Franconia only has 900 registered voters. Must have been double or triple that number out watching the parade.
Lets press our luck with a second photo. Sorry out of luck, the uploader broke again. I'll give it rest and try again.
OK, uploader worked again. This is Dow Field in Franconia, crowded with families and kids waiting for the town fireworks show to go on.
