Here Comes the Snow...Plows

Oh, what to do on a Thursday night?

Option #1: Stay in a warm but somewhat boring hotel room, fix dinner and watch TV.

Option #2: Bundle up and drive a few miles to freezing Frazee, Minnesota to watch their 1st Annual Snowplow Parade.

Hmmm....decisions, decisions.

Here Come the Plows!

Big Ones...

...Small Ones...

...And  Baby Ones (sorry for the poor picture quality)

One Plow Even Had the Grinch

There was a great turnout for the parade down Main Avenue in Frazee. Approximately 60 plows participated including ones from the State of Minnesota, Otter Tail and Becker counties, the towns of Frazee, Perham and Detroit Lakes along with many private contractors advertising their snow removal capabilities. Most were decorated with lights and many drivers were tossing candy to the children lined on up the sidewalks.

Scattered up and down the main street were several firepits with nice little fires going to keep the parade watchers warm.

The parade lasted longer than I did. Even with my gloves on, my hands were freezing. I stayed to see about 90% of the plows before they turned around and came back down Main Avenue. I couldn't take the below freezing temps any longer. It was time to head for the warmth of the hotel and a mug of hot cider.

Not sure a snowplow parade was on my bucket list, but I'll check it off any way! Gotta love small town life!!

Watery Wednesday - Over the Otter Tail River

For my first entry into Watery Wednesday hosted by Tricia at Bluff Area Daily, I am sharing this beautiful single lane covered bridge over the Otter Tail River in Frazee, Minnesota. I didn't drive over it -- just call me chicken. Not knowing if it was on private property, I parked a distance away and walked down the lane to see it. It was definitely worth the trip! And although the river is hard to see, it's there! It is just a small river.  :-)

Note: I was able to find this wonderful bridge and my earlier barn find that I shared thanks to Dale Travis' website. Go check it out...there might be one near you!
