I was driving through town on Saturday June 28th and saw this:
Yes, those are lawn chairs on the side of the road. Yes, they are tied together and secured to whatever is handy - street sign, fire hydrant, telephone pole, whatever.
Why? you may ask. It is the weekend before July 4th, people and here in the suburb disguised as a small town we take the annual July 4th parade VERY seriously. You always know when the last week of June has hit because the chairs start to mysteriously appear along the main street. I've never actually seen someone tying up their camp chair, but they crop up like mushrooms. Once there is one it is like a frenzy. I love see watch the cleverness of attachment and the variety of chairs
yep, that's a park bench. and apparently a long plank with legs.
This appeared in front of a local doctor's office right near the end of the route
I am hoping that is the Grand Stand, but i am really afraid that these people just OWN a set of bleachers for the parade. I'm not kidding; this parade is serious business. I'm just glad that my street runs into the parade route so that i can just walk to it.

Hey Nik! We will be there. Go every year. We usually sit at Jennings restaurant but we will probably sit around Ship's cafe. We don't do the chairs, we just squeeze in somewhere.

That is so bizzare/funny!
The bleachers are hysterical!
Here in Bel Air, the folks show a bit more reserve and put the chairs and blankets out the night before. lol. I'm guilty of driving my chairs down to Main Street to stake my claim on the prime real estate! :-) Last year we got up extra early and went to the hamster races. Oh, the excitement! lol.
