It couldn’t have been a better day for the Apple Blossom Parade. The Alice in Wonderland theme made for great costumes and float decorations. Here are a few shots from the day from our reporter and photographer Mark Fernquest.

What a beautiful day. I did not see most of the parade because I was in it. (I think I had three groups inviting me to participate and I chose Love Choir) The place was mobbed. I did not know there were food venders. At least one truck and two hotdog stands. What a nice day in Peace Town.
Couldn't get there so really enjoyed the great pics!
