Neither rain, nor sleet, but....Thomas J Hooker Parade

Final pictures of Hartford and the Thomas J Hooker Parade. Note that the post office delivers under all kind of weather and conditions, but not when there's a parade blocking the route. The mailman got to take a break and take pictures of the parade as it passed by.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Most Unique Band!

At the Thomas J. Hooker Parade we thoroughly enjoyed the Joseph A. Ferko String Band, Philadelphia Mummers. Not only were they colorful, talented and entertaining but played instruments we never saw before in a marching band. So much fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thomas J Hooker Parade Pictures continued

I got caught up with the merriment of the parade and when the mimes passed by, I put my hand to my ear like I couldn't hear them. Well, the last one in line there came over and I thought we were going to get into an argument. After a couple of hand movements, he ended with the "OK" sign and I said "OK". Don't mess with mimes! The band was good, but I don't know their names. I LOVED the bird!
