The biggest event of the weekend, at least for the kids,
is the Homecoming Parade that starts at noon on Saturday. This is their favorite
part of the weekend thanks to all of the free candy that they collect, and the
relatively free reign that we give them in eating it (hey, it's their last candy
hurrah for the year!).

Rodney's Uncle David is the fine looking gentlemen dressed in
blue on the right of the formation.

Our group lined up to watch the parade. The kids are, from left
to right: Marissa, Samantha, Jayden, Donovan, Tyler, and Thomas.
There, but barely visible are Drew and Andrew.

|
Let's keep the party roolling! (Or so says the sign.)

"Ferris wheel" goes by.

This lady swung in this swing the entire parade route!

Donovan, Jay, and Drew watching as this tractor goes by. Nobody
was really sure what it was used for, though...

Nice bike for the Keystone Kops!

Immediately following the parade is a car show in downtown
Deckerville. We spent a few moments wandering through, checking out the cars.
Here are a few of my favorites...

A classic Chevy II.

A 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396.

Cool characters hanging around on this license plate...
|
|
...which belonged to this 1946 Pontiac.
|
|
A 1969 Chevy Camaro.
|
|
And of course, the General Lee. Not quite an exact replica, but
close enough to be lots of fun.
