The 2016 Kerman Harvest Festival was a real treat. The Festival is always well attended and the carnival atmosphere with music, food, rides, exhibits, food, community booths, and more food, is always fun. Did I mention the food?
A highlight of the Festival is the Parade. Most of the community turns out for it, either by participating in it or supporting from the roadside. Usually, my family and I try to get there early to get a good spot to see the every parade entrant.
However, this year was different. This year, we wouldn't be able to see the parade from the sidelines. As a sitting member of the current City Council, I would be riding on the City Council float. Then, as a Candidate for City Council, the whole family would be walking in the parade. Thankfully, the City Council float was fairly close to the beginning of the parade, and the Candidates (and my family), were relatively near the end of it. They were spaced far enough apart to give me enough time to run back to the beginning of the route in time to walk with my family.
After the parade, we were able to attend the Festival, have some food, see friends, make new friends, ride the rides, and eat more food. Did I mention the food?
