Kiwanis Kiddie Parade

by Tryan Hartill

If you were stuck downtown tonight about 6:30 and wondered what was going on, it was the Kiwanis Kiddie Parade. This year about 120 kids dressed up their floats, decorated their bikes and caged their baby pigs (oh yes we had a pig this year) and marched in the Parade.
It seemed like there was even more kids that stood on the side of the streets than were actually in the parade. (me thinks they were trying to scam the candy)

Just 4 years ago there there was only a turnout of 24 kids, so it’s good that this year had a better turnout.

Noticeably absent was any critters from the MO3 or Auntie households. I thought for sure after the performance they put on this weekend, they would want to show it off to the whole town!

Yeah, TH – I guess I shoulda signed up Pony-Cat for some float or other, huh?

Which bike were you on?

Yeah there was no cats. Pony cat would have looked good with his new girlfriend. There was 3 dogs, with Tanner being one of them, but he was busy trying to scam the candy as we walked the streets. Maybe I’ll have to dress him up next year.

As for the bikes, I think serious injury would occur, especially trying to walk Tanner at the same time.

Hi boys and girls, I’m Trying Hardly!, look at my website – North Coast OreGOB!

See the happy, happy parading children! Look at the good distracting things I can post the day after a sound political trouncing, and when I’m not encouraging DRUNK DRIVING!

..Duhh!, I mean LOOPING! ... And don’t forget to keep a certain attorney’s name in your pocket when looping! All “True Astorian’s” do, you know! But that doesn’t mean I’m biased….

Ladies and Gentleman, its much wiser to come to my website at www.dallyass.info. I love to make sensational headlines with no substance! My ultimate aim is to challenge the National Enquirer. My headlines, today, for instance reads, “County opens up salary wound, pours in salt” but then the story doesn’t even provide anything about salt being poured or really anything sensational at all, just talks about a discussion taking place between commissioners, but boy did it sell papers and the AP wire just grabbed it up! Gotta love it! Also, I promote wine tasting events to raise money for our Juvenile Detention center, I love to show juvies the responsible way us grownups drink, since they were the ones bussing tables and cleaning up our mess. All of my friends had Josh on speed dial, he’s available to us 24/7 you know, so even if we were pulled over on the way home everyone knew nothing would come of it and how the wine flowed! Those backdoor deals he “doesn’t do” don’t apply to everyone (wink, wink)! Anyhoo, come on by my website if you want the best gossip west of the Mississippi, and be on the ground floor of the next National Enquirer wannabe, that’s me!

That’s a great turnout! And are they allowed to throw candy now? That’s great for the kids. How did you end up with so much satirical political commentary on a post about a kiddie parade?!

They are not allowed to throw it, but they can “hand it” to the other kids (which turned into “small tosses” by the end)

I think it spilled over from the previous petition diary.
