Even the horses added some glitter and flowers before participating in the parade.
The 51st annual Annie & Mary Day Celebration kicked off Sunday morning in Blue Lake with the usual parade (led by reenactors in the roles of Annie and Mary (plus Larry), lots of firetrucks, Dell'Arte performers, samba dancers and lots of horseback riders. Mandy Mager, Blue Lake city manager, was named grand marshal of the parade.
After the "Localmotion" themed parade had moved on past the Bill Nessler Car Show and food vendors along the parade route, most attendees moved on to Perigot Park for the Humboldt Folklife Festival's live music lineup, barbeque, arts and craft vendors and children's activities.

I am digging the solid punk praxis of throwing all-ages shows at the indoor skatepark. It feels truly right and just, like wearing off-brand shoes without socks until they disintegrate or running against and beating an incumbent neoliberal politician as a young-left populist in a previously safe primary. Anyway, Rampart Skatepark is hosting another cool one tonight at 7 p.m., when the East Bay doom outfit Catapult the Dead meets up with Washington state's power-violence outfit Family Vacation for a night of plywood-shrouded excellence. Providing local support are pv band Waste Site and local radical noise-a-rinos Arugula ($5). Nice.
