You say you've never been to a small-town parade in Southern Alberta? Well, pull up your lawn chair, get the kids in the stroller, and prepare get nostalgic as 301NIB takes you on tour through a town that hasn't changed since the post-war era. Our photo-essay gives all the excitement of Magrath Days and doesn't try to hit you in the face with a lollipop.
At an A-list event like Magrath Days the security is extremely tight.
The Spirit of Magrath marching band helps keep the spirit of British imperialism alive.
The Strate Round-up carriage won a red-ribbon for best family float. (That's first-place to you and me.)
Each year the parade's major plot device involves whether or not some unfortunate child will end up under the wheels of a float as they reach for that elusive tootsie roll.
Underneath the glamour and gloss of Magrath Days lies a sinister purpose - free advertising for heartless corporate titans.
The Magrath Young Women demonstrate what a fantastic time our pioneer ancestors had pulling handcarts across the plains.
Just when you think the parade has plateaued, they take it up a notch - old people in power chairs!

Its ok if the appearance of your blog is not good. The important thing is the topic or the content of your blog.
So...I left a comment on your last post but I don't know what happened to it. I suspect the blog author deleted it, for some reason I don't quite understand. But I'll give it a second try...
I found the perfect activity for Kaddi and me. The fact that we're separated by thousands of miles is the only thing hindering us. In fact, I think it's the show that was made for both you and Jared and me and Kaddi. It's the perfect combination of sports and people getting wasted. And when I say wasted, I don't mean drunk. I mean physically pounded. And it is so funny. Throw in some peanut m&ms and it would be a perfect evening.
It's our new favorite show--Wipout. Have you seen it yet? So badly, I want to watch it with Kaddi. I think I can already hear the peals of laughter that we could get going.
If only McGrath loses it's charm and you decided to come and visit Connecticut instead.
If only...
I don't see any farm implements. It's not a real small town parade without a section of tractors, and such. maybe next year!
