If she wins, I hope she makes better decisions in office! Folks, parades are show business, and Amanda was playing to the theme of "There's no place like home." Dog, red shoes, bicycle... get it? (I don't get the zebra car, but maybe that's just me!)

I’m calling foul on that, smitty. Let’s keep it above the belt.

OK I’ll say it. There is no way in hell Chris Smith could physically walk the entire parade route. No way.

First Fritz printing her mailing about outsourcing in Eugene, now Smith riding in a car! Yet another candidate for Position 1 exposed as a hypocrite! Guess they couldn’t get the streetcar to St. Johns fast enough.
What’s next? Mike Fahey shopping at Wal-Mart? Charles Lewis moving to SoWa? John Branam exercising good judgment?

“Only one of these candidates walked the route in red high-heels…”

If she wins, I hope she makes better decisions in office!

Some of the tall bike clowns (former Alberta Street Clown House, now St Johns “Broke Bike Mounters”) were afraid of the clowns for christ. But they had a good time with the pirates and shriners… What a day!

Amanda, you weren’t strained, you were grooving to the music behind you. (This was right at the beginning of the route.) Still photography doesn’t do it any justice; sorry about that!

I’m sure you were hurting by the end of the parade, though.

The speech bubble was priceless.

I was admiring those heels, Amanda — lookin’ good! Best wishes in the election.

Only one of these candidates walked the route in red high-heels – a fact that may account for the somewhat strained look on my face :)

The theme for the parade was “There’s no place like home”. A wonderful community event – kudos to the organizers and volunteers. There’s no place like St Johns, for sure.
