Blowing Rock Fourth of July Parade

Every year Blowing Rock has a cute little parade on the fourth and turns into Mayberry for a day. Aunt Carol rented a pickup and let the kids decorate it with the theme "Bubble Blowing Rock". She made a boulder form out of screen and the kids used paper mache and paint to make it look like a rock. There was a bubble machine inside the rock and they put the whole thing on a pedastal inside the bed of the truck. It was very cute and all the young cousins had a great time. Unfortunately, about halfway through the parade the sky opened up for a tremendous downpour, but I think they still had a very memorable experience.
