Rose Parade–Santa Rosa style
Last Saturday was the annual Rose Parade in Santa Rosa, a tradition which started in 1894. It almost didn't happen this year because of city budget short falls. A 10 year old girl named Zoe heard about this and took it upon herself to open a lemonade stand and give the money to the parade organization in hopes of continuing it this year. Word got out, the community responded, and a good time was had by all.
This is one of the joys of living in a smaller community, no pretenses, everyone could join in having FUN and be in the parade. It was very touching to see all the people celebrating life this way. Peggy and I are working on ideas for next year!
