Saturday was the day in Italy. Locals lined the street as vendors sold their wares and a big parade marched through downtown and all around the city. There hasn’t been a parade or festival in many years but from the looks of things, this won’t be the last.

Tina Haight and Clover Stiles organized the whole thing. From beginning to end, the “i’s” were dotted and the “t’s” were crossed. These two ladies are amazing. They even brought Mr. and Mrs. Claus from the North Pole to participate.
