The Borup MN 125th Celebration

Today I was asked to play music at the Borup MN 125th celebration.   Borup is a tiny town of only 110 people, but today it was busy and booming!  It was a nice day - but hot, hot, hot - and the town had a great crowd for their event.   There was a parade, a car show, lots of vendors (I bought a cute headband to wear today!), plenty for kids to do, and a great community supper at the fire hall.   Fortunately I played in an air conditioned hall, so that was a blessing on a hot day like today!  Harold and I had a good time, and I got to earn a little spending cash.  While I was playing, a delightful little boy about 5 yrs old danced the whole time.   He talked up a storm and was quite energetic and entertaining as he did "break dancing" to polkas and two steps, and schottisches!  Here's a photo tour of today's activity:

Plenty of vendors and things to buy.
