Under stormy skies, another Brighton Applefest classic fall fair weekend brought the usual 20 or 30,000 people to our town. The organizers of the Brighton Applefest Parade again pulled off a spectacular event. It keeps getting better and better.

For the second year, the Timber House float joined the Brighton Applefest parade. The base for the float was Ralph Beeler’s 1930′s era farm trailer, rough and ready, rendered in cast iron and massive farm-ready wheels. On top, we had the usual proud array of Timber House flowers, finery and fine people, including Melissa, Sam, Michele and yours truly.

Continuing with our fall traditions, Ralph Beeler pulled the float with his impeccably restored John Deere and Susie maintained her refusal to show up in the outfit Ralph wanted.

Much thanks again to the usual suspects!  That’s, you, Ralph and Wendy, Dad, Donna, Susie and Phil.

Here’s a great picture of the Timber House float rolling down Prince Edward Street in Brighton. (Thanks to Paul MacDonald, Coburg for this.)

Cheers, Dave and Michele
