Stake Your Spot Early For July 4th Parade!

   When I set my summer love story, LOVE DELIVERED, in a small town, I knew it had to have a July 4thscene. In my hometown of Catonsville, MD, the parade is such a big deal, that people actually stake their spots along the 1.1-mile route two weeks in advance.    Some people didn't believe that residents would set out chairs that far in advance. I have proof!    These next few days, I’ll be posting pics sent from Catonsville residents, about the growing lineup of chairs. Here are the first two photos. Enjoy! Remember to send your photos to joya@joyafields.com
Thanks to Debbie Hardee Kingsbury who sent this pic from last July 4th.  "My brother in law made this , they called her Shirley! Poor Shirley and her dog kept getting moved from one place to another in the week or so before the 4th of July," she said. We spotted 2012 Shirley yesterday around 5 p.m. but ten minutes later, Shirley was gone. Have you seen "Shirley?"



Thanks to Erica F. for this photo of someone who wants to be in the swing of things while they watch the parade. (Note the yellow "caution" tape. Another way to stake your spot.)
