The Warren parade is widely acknowledged, at least in Vermont, as being the best and most eccentric parade in the state. I so glad you got to experience it!<br /><br />Laurie is the long-time administrative assistant at the Warren School (local elementary school) whose contract was not renewed this year, much to the consternation of most locals. Evidently, at the School Board meeting two days ago, the only people in favor of her contract non-renewal were three of the Board members and the wife of one of them.

That independent spirit remains.<br /><br />It is also not without interest that some/many of the creators of the boat-rockin' float you so lovingly describe were carpetbaggers from New York City.<br /><br />I gather that Warren's population is less than 2,000, so it is not surprising that outside participation is involved in such an impressive parade.Punditarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979719360227114238noreply@blogger.com
