Organizing for the parade, and in the southeast corner of the ShopKo parking lot, was a proud tide of orange. To their credit, both Mark Crockett and Mike Winder set sail in our direction and asked to shake hands with Cap'n Ben.
OK, I'll sink the nautical metaphor, but it was a classy act by the two - soon to be one - Republican contestants for the County Mayor's office.
Mike prefaced his visit with Ben by calling out, "Who's the blogger?" I've recently taken a few shots at "hiz honor," so for me it was an awkward moment, made more awkward when a pinwheel of volunteers eagerly pointed in my direction. Ashley Sumner announced, "You've been carded!"
Oh well.
I assumed my accustomed role as photographer of the event. However, my white balance was set incorrectly, so my position may now be in jeopardy. What follows is a collection of pictures from today's festivities. It took a lot of work to resurrect anything close to accurate color, so most of the pictures I've simply left in black and white.
Enjoy!
