What's that I see on Rainier Avenue?
A hot tomato and a super-stretch SUV limo??
Must be the Heritage Festival Parade!
What a blast! Friends, fun, and FREE CANDY galore!! Here are some highlights...I wish I could post them all!
Our neighbors from just down the road came by for a visit...
The White Ravens football and cheer teams, who practice regularly at the Rainier Playfield, showed their stuff. Go teams!
A couple of splashy dragons, and an encore visit from the Blue Angels (check out those fins!)
Other notable entries--City Council member Sally Clark, up for re-election (the only politico at the parade, Jean Godden take note!)...the City Light truck and dance squad, who do the best darn electric slide in the city....dance squads and day cares and physically fit seniors, and the Unitarian drum team, and businesses and nonprofits and just generally everyone who's anyone in the valley and beyond showed up in the parade or on the sidelines.
I'm gonna get this published then run out for the Bite. Dibs on the Jones BBQ!
One last shout out to columbiacity.wikidot.com, another neighborhood website that flyered during the parade. Go check it out, dive in, and contribute!
