We did our ride out towards the town of Harvard, and left at noon, to avoid all of the above activities, and being run over by the Acton Minutemen marching down Strawberry Hill Rd to the North Bridge, for the re-enactment there.
I marched in the Patriot's Day parade in Concord in 2008 and 2009, with the Military Family Support Group. It was really fun. Last year, I couldn't go, and I didn't get an email about it this year, so I guess my marching days are over. On Sunday, we were taking a walk and we stopped to see the renovations of the Colonel Barrett farmhouse, which is where the colonials were actually storing their weapons. It's about 2 miles from my house and it's only open 2 days a year. Very interesting; it's going to take a long time to finish this, as it's being done to strict historical guidelines. They actually extended the National Park to include this site.
Marni, I don't remember there being a parade that the ABRHS band marched in on Patriot's Day, unless they stopped by the time Josh was in the band.
