Who doesn’t love a parade? Last week in Portland, it was Rose Festival time! There was the Starlight Parade, the Grand Floral Parade, and the Jr. Rose Festival Parade all in one weeks time! The latter takes place in the middle of the week, in the middle of the day, and is geared towards kids, with the participants being mostly grade schools or clubs. Everyone is welcome though to join, you don’t even need to pre-register, you can just find yourself a spot and walk! Squash Clothing-as part of our supporting the schools, put in a lot of volunteer time in helping the 3rd Grade class at Sabin to do a “global awareness” project with all the kids choosing a country that they research, then decorating aprons with images from that country that they then wear during the parade. The kids had a great time, and Colonel Sanders in the background thought we were “FINGER LOOKING GOOD”
