Memorial Day 2008, Noank version (edited)

I seem to have a mental block when it comes to our hallowed Noank Memorial Day Parade. Last year I filmed the entire parade, only to find after it was all over that I had neglected to actually push the little button to start filming. So, last year, no clips at all.

This year I arrived with the same camera, loaded with a High Speed 4gb SCHC card, determined to not make that mistake again. And I didn’t.

Unfortunately, and unbeknownst to me, approximately 3.5 gb of the memory card (which showed up as empty so far as the camera was concerned) was taken up by old files that I had neglected to erase. Long and boring story behind that, which I won’t belabor.

So, much to my regret I have to impart the bad news that I am unable to show the entire Noank Parade in all its splendor. The good news is that even though I was able to film only about 3 minutes of the parade, I still got a good 80% of it, and 90% of the good stuff. Unless you’re a fire truck fan, you’re getting pretty much the whole thing. So, without further ado: The Noank Memorial Day Parade, 2008:
