This is the local parade put on by the good people of Lupburg each year. It comes up the main road, then turns up to the church, and passes right by our driveway.
This little guy is in full costume. The kids dress up for lots of parties leading up to the parade day.
This is one of the kind ladies from our local bakery. She is dressed up for the "Luppywood" float.
Some street scenes...They decorate the entire parade route with these balloon strings. Very festive.
Here is the "number girl" from the Rocky Balboa-themed float. Other float themes not shown due to a dead camera battery include: Smurfs, Cannibals, and the tour de France (the bikers were dressed as French poets, with beret, blowsy poet shirt, and penciled-in mustaches).
Finally, some native Lupburgers hanging out on the roof of the Edeka, our tiny but very handy local grocery store. It wasn't too bad this year, but they wore short-sleeved Hawaaiin shirts last year too - when it was in the teens!
