Everyone Loves a Parade!

Posted on June 9, 2014

And this proves it!

I was told that the Fire Department was going to hold a parade.

Usually parades are held to honor, remember, or celebrate something. I’m not sure about this one. How about that there were no fires that day? Or that the town has a fire department? That it was a splendid day? Well, how about just that everyone loves a parade! And 13 other departments from the area came out to prove it!

After the parade the Fire Department was host to a number of events but, unfortunately, I had prior commitments. By the time I came back, around 9 PM, it was pretty wound down and nothing to film.

WHY THIS WEBSITE

I came to Pine Plains by choice, not by chance of birth.

But the small-town rural community I chose is changing. The farmers have, for the most part, sold to people from the city and fields are becoming lawns.

And, like the land, people, too, are becoming subdivided as difference breeds distance rather than discourse.

I have been making these videos to preserve and reconstitute what I can of a changing way of life and to share it with the community.

On a more personal level, I am making this website as a way of holding on to the reasons why I came here.
