BLOGSTOCK08 Part 2

There was a lot of work that went into Blogstock08. I wanted to show some pictures of the float being put together and some pictures I took before the parade.

Here is Desiree making yet another sign. She worked tirelessly at doing the writing for all the many signs that we made. We had signs that were like Burma Shave signs posted all along the road coming in. I do hope someone will post pictures of them eventually. I did not take any pictures of the signs. I did take over 200 pictures on this trip though!

Each blogger got a goodie bag and here they all are ready and waiting. Pretty aren't they?

Here's Char cooking up....cherries!!

This is Ralph and Cliff as they were building the float frame. Here, you can't tell it from this angle, but they were laughing so hard. It seems that Ralph was in a difficult position and was making a face and Cliff said he hadn't seen a face like that since Marilyn gave birth! Then they both got tickled.

The next pictures show the work on the float as it progressed along. Here is Marilyn and Mrs. Jim.

I'm not doing pictures of the parade. If you want pictures of that just check out
LZ Blogger's page. He has so many great pictures!
This is the back of our float!

I made two posters here at home and folded them up and put them in the bottom of my luggage. This is one of them, on the left.

The float is finished! Kind of looks like Nora is holding it up there!!

Here is Nora, Courtney (Jamie Dawn's daughter), Jamie Dawn, and Jerry. Uhhh...Jerry? Where are your beads???

Here's Jim and Janell with their great smiles!

Here is LZ Blogger and his lovely wife!

We went to this winery for lunch after the parade. It was very nice and a lovely place with a nice deck which we ate on.


I'll have a third part of Blogstock08 coming up!!
