JN134 Final project- The parade didn't pass them by

Trent Parker, two, of Scio, watches  the parade passing by fair goers on Saturday, May 19, during the Linn County Lamb & Wool Fair in Scio. Young Trent rode with his father, Jared Parker, in a vintage fire truck owned by the Scio Rural Fire Protection District. This is Trent's second time riding in the parade with his dad. His twin sisters, Melanie and Emily, seven, rode in the bed of the fire truck along with several other volunteers' children and Bella the fire dog.

Elizabeth Badger, 10, of Smith River, California hands a sticker to Alex Swenson, six, of Harbor, Oregon during the annual Azalea Festival in Brookings, Oregon. The festival is held every Memorial Day weekend. While Alex liked the sticker- a ninja- he is much happier when parade participants toss candy his way.  The hour long parade drew throngs of viewers along Chetco Avenue before it turned up the Oak Street hill and finished at Azalea Park.

On Saturday, May 19, Sparky, the fire pup, greets parade goers of all ages during the Linn County Lamb & Wool Fair in Scio. The parade route passes by the ZCBJ Hall, seen here, on its way down Main Street and past the reviewing stand. Sparky, who asked to not be identified as anything other than Sparky, is the daughter of volunteers for the Scio Rural Fire Protection District.

Dad Adam Thompson holds back son, Kyle, three, as the parade approaches  the Thomas Creek Bridge in downtown Scio. Older brother, Josh and neighbor, Dar Sanders, anticipate the candy they are expecting to fly their way. The parade is the highlight of the Linn County Lamb & Wool Fair in Scio. The fair, held the third weekend in May, kicks off the fair season in the Mid Willamette Valley.

Two year old Brian Downing stands in the street near the end of the Linn County Lamb and Wool Fair  on May 19 in Scio. With candy already in his bag, Downing waits for more to come his way.
