I had only been to one of the four prior Ashland 4th of July parades until today.
Before that I don’t think I had missed more than one during the first eight years we lived in Ashland.
The Macaroni’s band is still in the parade.
I’ll post some more photos from this event over the next week.
I’m not normally a huge fan of bluegrass music (even though Intuitive Compass’s strand of bluegrass is more than a bit twisted), but after the Ashland Halloween Parade I enjoyed listening to Intuitive Compass, who set up in the middle of the normally busy street on the Ashland Plaza. Perhaps it was the beer, or the costumes, or Wyatt Yurth’s resemblance to Mikael Akerfeldt; all I know is I felt very good at the time.
If you want tons of people looking and smiling at you on Halloween, try the ol’ tried-and-true “dude stuck in the outhouse” costume on for size.
Caryn and Renee do the robot down Ashland’s Main Street.
At the Ashland Halloween Parade this guy was dressed up like a Mormon missionary (sort of) with a “Hello, my name is Mitt” sticker on his white shirt. OK, so he didn’t look much like Romney and costumes poking fun at someone’s religion are probably in poor taste, but it did make a lot of people laugh.
Here we find the other end of the costume spectrum from the squeaky clean Mormon missionary types in these smoking (although well-dressed) ghouls.
Finally, for today anyway, we have the Hunchback of Notre Dame and (I think) Esmeralda.
I took a few dozen decent photos of today’s annual, Halloween parade down Main Street. I’m not sure if I will post them all in the next week or two, but most of them should eventually make it here. Stay tuned.
