The Saranac Winter Carnival King & Queen discharging some of their duties • click to embiggenBefore the plague struck we took the kiddies to the Annual Kiddie Parade at the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival.
The parade itself is a rather un-organized affair. Basically, a large clump of kids start out together and move as a large clump to the town hall where they move inside as a clump to gorge themselves on cake, cookies, soda pop. During the proceedings, the The Winter Carnival King and Queen assume the throne and hand out participation ribbons to the kids, many of whom are completely perplexed and bewildered by the whole affair.
In any event and for the most part, the kiddies seem to enjoy it and, heaven knows, I wouldn't have missed the hair-anchored balloons for all the tea in China. And, it would seem so as well for the King and Queen.

that kid pictured looks less perplexed and bewildered, but more like the faces you'd see on the adults after the adult parade the previous afternoon. haha.
The kid looks like a black face minstrel
