July Fourth (MOC6.11)

Scrap a date (July 4, 2016) with 150+ words (again!). Here's all about the 4th of July La De Da parade in my little village of Yachats. It's *so* fun. Everything with Sabrina's Creations Minutiae, plus 1 heart from Just Jaimee's Coffeebreak, and a couple of things from the Makers Gonna Make collab. Journaling reads (Butter, Brot, Papier font):
I live in a wonderful goofy little town named Yachats, and every year for the Fourth of July celebration we hold a La De Da parade. Just its title ought to give you some idea of how humorous the event is! There are only two motorized vehicles involved--the first is a tractor-drawn trailer with the City Council on it, and the last is the fire truck. Everything else is people or pets, dressed as overly-patriotically as possible, with a hefty sprinkling of hippy and queer rainbows. We have the youth program, a couple of churches, the volunteers who help weed the trails; we have motel employees, a particularly rowdy perennial family that vacations here, and dogs galore--even a llama, one year. All this takes place on a typically gorgeous, sunny, and windy day, with our great big blue ocean in the background, and eagles screeching overhead. It really doesn't get any better than this! 2016
