Chatauqua week kicked off yesterday with a home grown parade down Main Street. It’s hard to say who enjoyed it the most, the folks in the parade, or the folks lining the streets to watch. I got to march with the group representing the Farmers Market, and I had a blast.

Chatauqua runs all week. Click the link on my blog roll to access the Festival website to check on daily events. This is truly a unique celebration. It’s all about friends and neighbors coming together to enjoy each other and the beautiful place we live.

P.S. Happy Father’s Day!
