Park Road Parade


Park Road is a street of small stores and restaurants in the southern part of West Hartford.  Every October the business association sponsors a charming little parade.  Here are some photos.  There will be more this coming week.  The top photo shows the street amid the beginnings of fall foliage.  And a spectator with foliage-colored hair.

(NightFall is an upcoming art event featuring larger-than-life puppets.)

  7. Yesterday must have been parade day. From your photos I would say yours was better than mine. At least you had better weather.

  12. I'm in awe at the colour of those trees in the top shot. All trees are still green here and it seems summer is back, which I love, of course! :-)

  15. This gets me wondering why it is we all like parades. Is it because people love to look at one another and this is a perfect opportunity? We like uniforms? Costumes?

  18. I think small parades are fun as they have a homey, neighbourly feel.
