On the kickoff eventide of last year's festival, the street parade was delayed past times heavy rain. It was also delayed this year. Supposed to start at 5:30pm, but nix was happening ... perchance I had the engagement wrong? But I was certain the principal parade was on the kickoff evening... Finally only about 6:15pm the parade appeared. I had non quite got the message that the processio started exterior the village, dissimilar the concluding few years when it all started inwards the village. Again the procession was amount of color together with smiles.
