summertime parade
of horse power, hoofs to wheels,
farmers proudly waving
The rain held off for the summer solstice parade. Fairfield is a farming community, and this parade proudly displays the horse power that has driven agriculture in the Midwest, from horses used for pulling plows to steam-powered and then gasoline-powered tractors. As time goes on, the tractors get bigger and fancier; the latest models have air-conditioned cabs. The parade, which began at the town square, proceeds along Broadway to the public high school, farmers proudly sitting astride their tractors while folks enjoy a ride in a horse-drawn carriage.
