“The hardest part is letting go of what I think I’m supposed to be.” ~ Erin Chandler
It was completely soggy during the Sorghum Festival parade. It didn’t start out that way. We thought we’d dodged a bullet with the overcast skies. Ten minutes into the parade the drizzle started and didn’t stop.
The rain didn’t stop Ryan and his friend Chastity from grabbing handfuls of candy. The DAV spent $200 on sweets, so whether there were 10 kids or 10,000, rain or shine, there were Tootsie Rolls to be thrown. Those kids made a haul! I’ve never seen that much candy on Halloween. Such is the advantage of a soggy Sorghum Parade.
Fortunately, they put the horses well behind the candy, for obvious reasons. Plus, horses don’t care if it rains or not. Although, Keith Barker’s mule looks a little put out, but that could be because he’s Keith Barker’s mule. I always liked ‘ol Keith. His mom and dad were wonderful people, and Keith was always sweet as he could be to me. I don’t believe he recognized me behind the camera. That’s alright, I got pictures of him on his mule and one day we’ll catch up and laugh about him and that big cigar in the rain. That is but one joy of being from a small town.
