Parade Critters and Clowns Extravaganza

 Welcome to SATURDAY'S CRITTERS and City Daily Photo

It was an unbelievable turnout at the Lakeville Pan-O-Prog 2012 downtown parade this year.

We've been attending this downtown parade since 1989 and naturally last year COVID19 put a halt to it so I'm guessing folks that hadn't gone in years got back on the parade routine once again. 

Here are just a few parade critters and a few incredible clowns. 



"Horses change lives. They give out young people confidence and self-esteem. They provide peace and tranquility to troubled souls, they give us hope."
Toni Robbinson


The Pan-O-Prog always has a children's pet show on Saturday mornings and then later they ride a float in the parade.

"Build yourself up to stand out and be recognized in a crowd."

Ansuman Bhagat



Of course Sparky wouldn't miss a chance to welcome everyone!


"The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life."

William Morris





"Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure."
Paulo Coelho




Just a friendly pup enjoying the parade and those passing by.



"A great man or (donkey) is always willing to be little."
Ralph Waldo Emerson


"Never dull your shine for somebody else."
Tyra Banks


"I don't believe in fashion. I believe in costume. Life is too short to be the same person every day."
Stephanie Perkins




Conversing with a clown.
"It took me years to understand that words are often as important as experience, because words make experience last."
William Morris




"Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness."

Allen Ginsberg 



"Each of us makes his own weather, determines the color of the skies in the emotional universe which he inhabits." Fulton J. Sheen



"Keep your best wishes, close to your heart, and watch what happens."
Tony Deliso


"Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Down deep for every dream precedes the goal."

Pamela Vaull Starr
