We are in new Hampshire now, arriving last Friday. Yesterday we spent most of the day in Greenfield, my home town. There was a celebration there in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Greenfield Fire Department. There was a parade with several fire trucks, some current and some antique from many of the surrounding towns. (See one of the antique fire engines on the photo on the side.In addition, of course there were marching bands, horses, a few floats. For those of you from Greenfield, you should know the parade went from the East Road and ended at the Fairgrounds, now known as Oak Park.Today there will be additional festivities with some competitive fire-fighting events. We will probably pass on that.After the parade, at the fair grounds there was a concert by bag-pipes and drums. This was all fun to see.
On the way home, we crossed a covered bridge on the Hancock Road. this is a pretty bridge --- see the accompanying photo.
