Behind The Scenes
of the 4th of July Parade
Who will pull Mr. Pickles in the 4th of July parade?

"Knox is excited about the 4th of July Parade in Banner Elk in just a few days. He's ready to pull Mr. Pickles in his wagon and show off all his hard work and training. We just need to outfit the wagon with sides that will keep Mr. Pickles inside the wagon and still allow people to see him and we'll be ready to go. Be on the lookout around town - Knox and Mr. Pickles have been planning a few test runs before the parade."
-Jane Lee Rankin of Apple Hill Farm.

This is Jane Lee Rankin pulling Mr. Pickles through the 2012
4th of July Parade in Banner Elk. Excuse me, but I think Jane should
pull him this 4th as it is a much more dignified look. -Ron
