Bell Tower Parade 2015

In Iowa Parades and tractors go together like ham and eggs. This is a collection of toy tractors, always a hit with young Iowa farmers.

 Keith Conroy, a classmate of mine from the class of '61 restores tractors and this is his latest effort.

 Jefferson has an honest-to-god A&W drive-in. Want a root beer float?

 Just thought she was cute...

 This was a float for a Day Care facility. That is one BIG baby!

 Will farm equipment get any bigger?

 Many sitting in my area thought this to be the most unique entry in the parade. A working Ferris wheel

 More big ol' farm equipment.

                                     Horses!!!

 Lovely tree on the courthouse square.

Gary and Susan came up from Missouri for the weekend and we have been busy with Belltower festivities and other fun like golf, walking and biking. Never enough time to see and do everything. It has been fun and it was some kind of miracle- it hasn't rained since Friday morning.
