Everyone on Mission Point's lawn waiting to start the parade:
The leader getting the flag in its holder:
What a stunning way to start!
I totally want to own period attire too!
Mackinac Island's 4H Club:
This cowboy smiled for me!
Jade liked watching the horses! (Kaya did too, she just insisted on sitting on the grass next to the stroller).
This duo was all smiles:
This cute horse posed:
The riding stable:
A student recognizes Phil (he was a substitute teacher)
These children are with the Little Barn on Mission Hill:
Blaze, probably the most beloved horse on the island!
Thus ends the inaugural parade!
Location:Mackinac Island
exactly which period (or I should say year) is the correct one to wear on island? Other than the fort there seems to be no date agreement I can find.
ReplyDeleteThe fort was built in 1779, so anything Colonial, Victorian, or Edwardian works. I am partial to Victorian. There is a site called Recollections, and I am watching their clearance section for something I love and can afford!
ReplyDeleteThat is a major time span, with a lot of styles to choose from. Kinda surprised they don't narrow it down to a few decades... I told you I'd just make one if you tell me what you want
ReplyDeleteDid you get a Victorian dress yet? The designer and owner of Recollections is a friend of mine...Marianne Bishop. I haven't seen her in many, many years though. I remember when she first started this company...I thought "...what a waste of time and talent...no one is going to buy Victorian reproductions..." Ha Ha...the joke was on me!!!
