New Germany Canada Day Parade

An assortment of shots taken at yesterday's well attended Canada Day parade in New Germany. It was neat to see some familiar faces in the crowd, and so many unfamiliar faces too!








I think this shot might be my fave from the day...


Uh, yeah...girls did not look like this when I was in junior high in New Germany, back in the day....


Not sure if this guy thought this pic was going in the paper, he was nice enough to stop his 'pack' of bikers for me so I could snap this shot.


Crossing the Lahave...






I think this elderly couple appreciated the swing tunes played by the Mahone Bay Legion Band.


Parade's over, time to enjoy the ox pull...
