Hamel Rodeo Parade, July 8th!!

I couldn't have asked for a better day on Sunday, July 8th for the Hamel Rodeo Parade that is held in Hamel (Medina), MN. It is a very small town, but very friendly. I was float #37 and this parade was much smaller with only 50 floats. I felt like I had one of the best since I got to ride in a blue Maserati. The parade began at 2pm and as we began the drive, the winds began to pick up and it started clouding up very quickly. It was so windy, I had to hold onto my crown so it wouldn't fall off! So much for doing my hair that day! Well, needless to say, the parade got done just in time and as we pulled into the parking lot, it began to sprinkle and then downpour for the rest of the day so we definetely were lucky this year. It was a great time with a great crowd.
