Jack and I drove over to Joyce today for the Joyce Daze Blackberry Festival which included a parade,mustache contest, salmon barbque and of course homemade Blackberry pies. Joyce is west of Port Angeles on the highway which leads to Neah Bay and the NW corner of the U.S and WA.
We thought the parade was actually better than the Seafair Torchlight Parade (which we watched on TV). At least the Joyce parade had the decency to honor Veterans who led the parade. There were several floats and old cars including a 1926 Packard. Instead of Seafair Pirates there were Poulsbo (pronounced PAULSBO) Vikings ... Very cool. After the parade the pies went on sale and Jack bought one for $21. At least it goes to a good cause. One of the announcers said that one of the berry pickers encountered three bears while he was in the berry patch! We enjoy these small town parades and festivals. We don't have to worry about getting mugged or shot at and the traffic is minimal.
