The next day, the sky was not very good, it was gloomy when I woke up in the morning, and after breakfast, the sky was even more foggy, as if it would rain at any time.

However, the joy of the festival will not be diminished by the weather, and today's event will not change, if the rain is not heavy!

Sousa prepared a lunch box and snacks, and Colo brought a blanket, an insulated coffee maker, and other things to prepare for a picnic in the town square at noon.

Qin Yi made a phone call with Walker and Julie, and took a few women of all sizes to Augusta, and their family naturally took a float, and there was a group of small animals on it, Angel ran back and forth with them, very cheerful.

Amanda was also on the float, chatting with Susa and Colo, or teasing the little girl, in a good mood, and felt that this Thanksgiving Day when she didn't go home was also quite interesting.

In addition, Ryan also drove a pickup truck to follow, with Susie and Ricky sitting on it, this is the annual town Thanksgiving float parade, which is still very lively, and they naturally don't let it go. Today, Ryan has already conveyed Qin Yi's words, ranch cowboys can ask for leave, but those who stick to their posts will be rewarded with double salaries!

Although half of the cowboys take leave to go home for the holidays, or go to the town to watch the parade of floats and performances, there are many who choose to stay, most of these are singles, and they are not too interested in the festival after twenty or thirty years.

Fortunately, the grass is now fertile and grows quickly, and the workload of the cowboys has decreased a lot compared to before, although half of the cowboys are on leave, but the remaining cowboys are just recovering from the previous workload, and they can take care of it.

On the way, Walker and Julie's families converged, and everyone headed towards the town together.

They also prepared floats, and Walker's house was a cow float. The car carried models such as big apples and flower cows, and Julie and his wife drove a large cake-like float with a group of children, the main feature of which was a realistic big cake, and did not consider the characteristics of the ranch.

A group of children were very happy, and the various floats attracted their chirping and cheering. Along the way, several people driving stopped from time to time, because the child wanted to ride all three floats, but in fact, it was not just the child, but the three floats with their own characteristics. Even adults can't help but go up and feel it, and the whole trip is full of laughter.

The float drove slowly, and it took more than ten minutes to reach Augusta than usual.

At this time, the streets of the town were full of residents with festive faces.

There are many large cartoon balloons placed in front of some stores, such as the heroic "Spider-Man", the cute "Snoopy", the quirky "Smurfs", etc., all kinds, attracting many children and cartoon lovers to take pictures and watch, giggling and hilarious. Spread across the town!

Qin Yi led three floats around the street a few times and blended into the town's float parade.

Naturally, there are people who host the activities of the town, usually the mayor of the town, and gather some spontaneous farmers, cowboys and others. Then order is maintained by the town police station. However, for the Thanksgiving event, the town police station will naturally have representatives to participate.

Far away, Qin Yi saw several young police officers standing at the front of the line. Supporting a large balloon "police officer", the "police uncle" big balloon is dressed in a blue uniform, with a mustache upturned up, staring at it with big eyes. But he has a big belly and looks funny.

Many residents on both sides of the road are talking and laughing at the funny "police officer" balloons and taking pictures, and some residents who are familiar with the police officers are teasing them to their heart's content, and the police officers don't mind, deliberately making some funny expressions and actions to make the children around laugh.

Most of the police officers in the town are locals, who grew up in the town since they were children, and they all know each other, and the police are just a profession for them, and they don't need to pay attention to any majesty, image, etc., mingling with the people, but can create a close atmosphere, which is also very helpful for their work.

There was still a little time before the parade of floats, and the children Angel and Betsy were so curious about the lively scene that they wanted to see everywhere, so Susa and a group of women took the children to wander around the neighborhood.

Qin Yi, Walker and others sat on the float and chatted.

After a while, Mayor Marcus arrived, dressed as a medieval nobleman, and it seemed that he would also participate in the parade of floats later.

He chatted with everyone for a while, introduced some details of the parade, and hurried elsewhere, there are many things in the festival activities, which need to be organized and arranged by him, and there are some possible disputes that also need to be adjusted, as the mayor of the town is still quite busy.

After Marcus's introduction, Qin Yi learned that although the town is not big, the scale of this event is still quite large, with a total of more than 50 floats, including not only farms and pastures, but also Augusta Primary School, clinics, police stations, supermarkets and other units or companies, each with a float!

In addition, there are 15 giant balloons, 3 orchestral squares, 88 balloon controllers, and more than 300 "clowns", all of whom are ready to go.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the children and women who were playing also returned to the floats, and in the laughter, the parade officially began!

At the forefront was a band of Augusta schoolchildren, the little ones dressed in uniform and playing decently.

Then there is the float of the town mayor Marcus's family, which is a medieval aristocratic horse farm, Marcus's family is all dressed as medieval nobles, but for the sake of the festive atmosphere, the dress is a little nondescript, such as pumpkins, noble medals carved from turnips, ugly makeup, etc., which looks very funny.

Next are the teacher team, the medical worker team, and the elderly team of the small town teachers' association.

A few teams passed, and everyone saw that it was the basketball stunt performed by the small town basketball enthusiast association, and the fancy movements attracted warm applause; A phalanx of hot moms formed by a group of old ladies pushed the walking aids of the elderly, carried vegetable baskets, played guitars, and sang and danced happily while walking

The clowns on stilts took to the stage, approaching the sidewalk to greet the spectators, or walking through the procession with hydrogen balloons, and occasionally a few small balloons flew into the sky, immediately attracting screams and cheers.

The "clowns" walk in front with small balloons, and the cartoon balloons follow behind, and the mysterious fields in "The Wizard of Oz" and the pirate ship in "Peter Pan" make the audience feel like they are in a fairy tale.

The queue was very long, and the walk was very slow, and finally it was the turn of their own float to start, and it was already ten minutes later!

The float moved slowly, Angel, who had been waiting for a long time, cheered, and several people in the car were also shocked, feeling that the atmosphere of the festival was even more enthusiastic. I've been standing and watching others have fun, and finally it's my turn to go up and wave to the residents on both sides!

Qin Yi drove the float and followed the team slowly, Angel on the car jumped and jumped, looking at the crowd waving to him and taking pictures, her face was so excited that she blushed; Several women, including Susa and Kolo, were also very happy, holding models of cows and sheep waving at the crowd.

The small animals also leaned their heads and leaned on the fence to look at the crowd, cute and curious, attracting residents on both sides to take pictures, and the children let out bursts of screams. (To be continued......)
