Main Street

We used to live in the best place on earth, Bridgewater, VA. Every July, it's Lawn Party time, which means a typical country fair. Rides, food, tractor pulls, a junior tractor pull, even real sawmillng. Our favorite part was the parades. There are two- the Firemen's Parade and the Antique Tractor Parade. Early in the morning on the day of the parade (either one) people start putting their chairs out along Main Street in hopes of getting a great spot to watch that evening. By three or four o'clock that afternoon chairs are lined up as far as you can see. Some people leave them there after the parade and head to the Lawn Party. Others leave them over night for the next parade. Where else but Bridgewater?
