Bridgett Welch sent me a couple of great photos that she took on Saturday with her cell phone!

Here are Pat Young and Bill Kaufmann ........

... Faultline, performing for a jam-packed crowd in Green Acres Plaza.

And later on, I found - hanging on my kitchen door - a bag with an entire CD of pictures - a couple hundred, at least! - that Mary Campbell had taken during the day and evening. I havn't even finished looking at all of them, but here are a few. I'll post more later on and I imagine that Mary will be adding them to the WCS website, too.

Thanks, Mary!

Two members of Faultline get a ride in the parade in Garry Cope's gleaming 1910 Buick.
Everyone loved that car, but all asked the same question: "Who polishes the brass?"

The local chapter of the Red Hat Society was there, of course .........

...... and there were floats from the High School where the theme of Homecoming Weekend was "Around the World."

The Saxaphone Ensemble warmed up on Putnam Street before boarding their special parade conveyance driven by Walt Tilbe.

Children of all ages loved the fire engines and bikers!

Michael's had a fine outdoor eatery set up .........


..... and June Richmond and Betty Tanner took a Greens and Riggies break to watch the parade .....

.... while, at Monument Park, Terry Tanner and Paula Gray manned the WCS Foundation tent - a busy gathering place.

Incidentally, according to the O-D, today's Rachel Ray Show will feature Chicken Riggies and the Mohawk Valley!

Elsewhere:

because for every person that reveled in the crowds of the Saturday festivities, there was another who breathed a sigh of relief to find that, on Sunday morning, peace and quiet had returned to the village.

There's a maple tree behind the Waterville Historical Society, on White Street, that fairly gleams!

And another in the Sangerfield Cemetery, here viewed from the nicely decorated yard of the Gorton residence.

I'll post more Parade and Dinner photographs later on!

Carol --- do you want a couple of big slices of Puffball? I tried to reach you yesterday afternoon, but no luck!
