Bunnies and bonnets

Our local council, Campbell City Council, holds a Bunnies and Bonnets parade every year. We just so happened to be in downtown Campbell and saw a bit of the fun.

There were marching bands (local high school, pic chosen to not show faces!).

Floats.

People on weird recumbent advertising bikes, including this Easter Bunny who had one of the ugliest, scariest faces I've ever seen on something that is meant to be happy and jolly.

Girls dressed in Scottish outfits dancing (have a video but again it is of kids and there seems to be some prohibition against showing kids on blogs without permission of their parents/guardians). Local pollies in porsches. Dancing girls, not doing gaelic jigs. People just wandering along. Old cars.

Americans seem to enjoy parades a lot. We don't have many in Oz. I think they are thought to be dicky and old-fashioned.

Near the end, before the fire trucks, etc, there was a pipe band! I videoed them :-)



Enjoy!
