We celebrate underwear. That is right we are the Red Flannel Capital of the world and every year the first week of October we throw a party for underwear. In addition to the marching band competition from the last post there are, tractor pulls, bed races, a Queen and court, out house races, karaoke contests, arts and crafts shows, a town wide flea market, a carnival, and even fireworks. We take our underwear seriously. This year Abbi marched with the band in the grand parade. I had a great time sitting on the side watching the band go past and shouting at the top of my lungs “ABBI! YEAH ABBI! YOU ARE THE COOLEST FLUTE!” Needless to say she was mortified but I figure that is part of my job description as the “momarazzi” Her boyfriend Hayden walked along the entire parade route on the side next to the band smiling and waving at her. Poor girl look at what she has to contend with. Caelun loved the parade but I think his favorite thing about Red Flannel is the elephant ears. Come ride the rides with us and give a HIP HIP HOORAY for the band and underwear.

After the parade we headed down main street for some carnival food.
Yum!!
I liked the lights of the food venders and the carnival at dusk.
Fireworks to come in the next post.
