Saturday was the La Center "Our Days" Festival. It is a totally geeky small town event that I typically mock and ignore. However, this hopefully being my last year in La Center, I went out with my neighbor. We started at the Pancake Feed put on by the La Center Fire Department. Our neighbor, Fireman Steve, was in charge. Then we went garage sale-ing because La Center Days is the big garage sale day in town, and the city puts out a map of all the sales. Following the garage sales we went to the parade and saw the classic car show. Later on we went to some vendors, got brats and cotton candy, and took in a band. Then we topped off the day with the best thing ever... LAWN MOWER RACES!!!
The band in the park.
Lawn mower races! Look at them go!
Firement serving pancakes.
My favorite... a horse in a pink cape and top hat (it belongs to my neighbors and was in their front yard later!).
Larry, the local ice cream man, was in the parade. Note his name on his truck.
Classic Car Show.
