We had a lot of fun on July 4 in Sharonville, but not without cost -
just before we were ready to head for our lineup position, the skies
opened up and rain POURED down for about 15 minutes! When the storm ended,
Ryan thought he'd take the tractor for a spin! |
 |
 |
Ryan and Erik, nephews of Marketing Manager Vicki
Foster, came from Boston to join us for the parade! |
|
The tractor looked great! Freshly washed and
decorated with GHF sunflowers and flags, we were something to see! |
 |
 |
What a great group! We had 4-H families, farm
families and summer camp staff represented! |
|
Here we are at the staging area - the weather's cleared, and we're
ready to go! |
 |
 |
Our efforts were well rewarded - we won this great
trophy for the "Most Representative of the Theme - Old Glory" Great
job, everyone! |
|
Memorial Day in Blue Ash was a great day for the Farm, thanks to all of
the young people who volunteered, and we were cheered by friends of the
farm all along the route. Our wagon riders threw 30 lbs. of Tootsie Rolls
to the assembled multitudes! |
 |
 |
Event Manager Vicki Foster and Associate Director Sandra
Murphy took charge of the project. |

impressive! |

The scouts held the flag up through the entire parade! |

entertain everyone! |

Friends of the farm cheered
us all along the route... |

Patriotism was the order of the day! |

The wagon looked great ... |

...from any angle! |

A group of therapy dogs followed the GHF Wagon. |

Thanks go to our young volunteers, who threw 30 pounds
of tootsie rolls to spectators along the route! |
