Parade

Yesterday we had the pleasure of being a guest "entry" into the 62 annual Kiwanis Kiddie Parade in Oroville, CA. As I mentioned in an earlier blog the last time we did the Miles was 3 and made the front page of the local paper....11 year later we made it again. This time Princess Olivia with Buttercup around her neck made the news.

Princess Olivia Kent, 3, a feature of the Kent Family Magic Circus carries a live snake around her neck during the Feather Fiesta Days kiddie parade on Bird Street in downtown Oroville on Friday.

Though it is a short parade it was a lot of fun and we got to see a bunch of local friends along the parade route. Princess Amelia pushed the small circus wagon with our big white bunny in it, Jim stilted while carrying our show sign, Indiana Miles bull whipped around, Cynthia was "Freckle-Face the clown and rode in the larger circus-wagon which Victor Kent Jr in dressed as Aladdin pulled. Mami (my wife) dressed in an oriental frock pushed Titus (my 11 year old...he's disabled) in his wheel chair. Titus had a ton of fun waving to the crowds....it's tough for him; he hasn't fine motor control. But he laughed and enjoyed it immensely!

A quick mention...we did a similar parade at Butte College the day before for their Spring Carnival. We also did strolling magic, clowning, stilting, the snake, Pink gorilla, the dino walker and more. What a fun time!
