Zionsville Fall Festival Parade We just returned from the Fall Festival.  It was a perfect day with cool temps and a Fall feel to the air.  The smells were tantalizing--barbecue, fried chicken, philly steak sandwiches and walking tacos. As I relished the time waiting for the parade to begin, I realized that the most appealing part of the weekend festival for me is the feeling of connection by living in a small town.  Zionsville is just over 10,000 people.  As the crowd gathered before the parade, cheerful greetings were shared and friends caught up on family news.  There is something valuable about feeling that you belong and are a part of the life of a town.  In nearly every part of the parade, there were people that we knew.  The heroes from all of stages of life were recognized --firemen, police men, ambulance and rescue teams, and veterans from each of the wars.  People saluted them with smiles and applause. The tragedy of 9/11 still casts a shadow, but the event has united

One of our favorite events of the year is this weekend.  Zionsville's Fall Festival celebrates Heroes because the date for the festival falls on September 11th.   The Festival features an old fashioned parade where bystanders are treated to a plethora of bands, floats, cheerleaders and candy thrown by paraders.  The parade has that small town feel where neighbors call out greetings to one another across the brick Main Street.  Politicians walk the parade route smiling and shaking hands.  The parade begins at 10:45 on Saturday.  Bring a blanket or folding chairs and save your spot early.  Little ones should bring a bag for collecting their candy. The colorful carnival offers rides and fair food--yes elephant ears and lemon shakeups are yours for the taking.  The festival kicks off Friday afternoon and runs through Sunday.  Admission is free.
