July 7, 2012 - New York Mills, NY Bell Parade

The town of New York Mills holds an annual Bell Festival to celebrate the Mills of years ago when the lives of the workers were determined by a bell that was housed in a local factory. It provided a 6am wakeup call and a 9pm curfew call.

The Red Band led the Parade down Main Street and ended at Pulaski Park where the Bell is on display.

The weather was great – a sunny, warm summer day but the mystery of the sparse spectators continues. The families that did line the side of the road really were in the spirit of it.



VIVA LA BANDA ROSSA!!!

Yes, it *is* a mystery why parades haven't been better attended, especially with how nice the weather has been for everything. Maybe people are bored of fire trucks :-( Come see the band, folks! Great photo taken from the center line, too.
