PARADE GRANDMA
This picture is one of human interest. The lady watching the parade is a 98 year old Hayden resident and has been attending parades in Hayden for 50 years. She loves fire trucks and always wanted to ride in one. She got her wish last year when she rode in one of the engines in the parade. I took this picture from the ambulance as I went by. The other picture was in the paper the following day.
