IT WASN'T ROSE BOWL FLOAT BUT

         This past 4th of July, I volunteered to ride on the Burg Grocery float here in Williamsburg. One reason I wanted to ride the float was I have always wanted to be able to throw candy at the kids along the parade route. 

        Our float like most in this small town was simple in make-up and simple in the message. Even though the whole parade took less than half an hour, it represented what rural America is all about. It was so rewarding to look out at those watching the parade along the route including loved ones visiting here. It made me feel so proud to be a citizen of this great country! I hope to do it again.
