Wayne Memorial Day Parade Way Too Much Fun

Wayne Memorial Day Parade View from a Marcher

On Monday May 26, Wayne Pa held it's Memorial Day parade. The parade stretched for over 2 miles and went on for 2 hours. Crowds were 5 and 6 deep through the center of town with an estimated total of over 25,000 in attendance. I was lucky enough to walk along with my daughter as part of the Radnor Girls Little League. Our team Nova had two girls in attendance.

The girls Natasha and Quinn had a great time. To link to the slide show of all the shots click '>PARADE SHOTS

Here are some of the shots. When participating in a parade like this one you get a chance to see many of your neighbors along the way. Friendships like these are what make Wayne Pa a great place to live. The
Wayne parade has antique cars and much more; from Cub Scouts to a working Conestoga Wagon, and to quote from the Main Line Times of

May 22 2008 "The parade, now in its 33rd year, will have nearly 70 marching units and include many township organizations such as Scout troops, nonprofits, civic clubs, fire companies and veterans’ posts. "

Many activities happen here this time of year on the Main Line. There is the Devon Horse Show or you can leisurely take in the sights at Longwood Gardens. This time of year the floral display is amazing. Competing with the parade are many other activities you can find nearby. One very large draw which kept the crowds marching in the parade and along the parade route from being even larger would be the New Jersey beach/ shore . If it was any closer we would be in New Jersey.

As for the Main line, The Upper Main line Y is sponsoring a group of Dads and Daughter's formerly called Indian Princesses, but now called Adventure Guides. They are having an outing at Dorney Park.
