Waren,
When we invented candy we thought it would make mortar to stick rocks together. No good so we threw it away. Then some nut ate some and it has been a mess since then. They throw candy from the floats at the parades here and the little kids love it. I helped one little girl last year that wasn't big or fast enough to get any and we wound up with the most.
En joy the festivities and I hope the rain will hold off until everything is finished. Kristen, you may have to have your parade with arks if the rain keeps up.
