Community Parade

My 2nd community parade!!  It was a really nice day--not too hot!

A few of my very talented co-workers created the Very Hungry Caterpillar for parades.  Ours was the first parade of the season so we were the first to actually USE it!

It's a little complicated to put together (at least a 3-man job!)

But look how cute it was in the parade!!  The kids absolutely loved it!

We even had some "fruit" for the caterpillar to munch on

Instead of candy, the library supervisor and I passed out seed packets to promote our Seed Library.

Following the parade there is a gathering at the school with booths, food, etc.

 At our booth this year we invited kids to decorate a paper pot and then plant pumpkin seeds to take home!  It was a HUGE hit!  We talked with almost TWICE as many people as last year (over 100)!

Hopefully we will have lots come in for our summer reading program and to check out seeds!

P.S.
Here's a totally cool bike that was in the parade!
