We all camped out at the annual Blue Springs Fall Fun Fest parade this morning…

Lame.

I’ve seen parades that were much better — in towns that are a small fraction of the size of Blue Springs.

Here are 10 things that I would change about the parade in Blue Springs:

1. I know we have a history of good gymnasts that train(ed) in Blue Springs, but come on, 5 mobs of obnoxious dance troupes? Why?
2. A middle school entry with no float and just a gang of kids? What’s up with that?
3. Where are the Shriners? Combines, mini-cars, go-carts, motorcycles — they’ve got to be there. Not just one group either.
4. The parade themes are lame — The Wild World of Sports?? I think I saw about two floats that even even made an attempt. I think some enforcement is required.
5. No horses? C’mon. Gotta have lots of animals.
6. More bicycles and skateboards. A freestyle bike act would be sweet.
7. I love the John Deere tractors and the Model-As and Model-Ts. Where were the big tractors? Where were the muscle cars? Where were the power-breaking and the glass-packs? And the jacked-up monster trucks?
8. Where were the pedal-powered contraptions — the crazy bikes and trikes?
9. There’s gotta be some tricked out choppers and motorcycles in this town. We got a Harley plant in Kansas City, for cryin’ out loud.
10. I think the Blue Springs Fall Fun Fest parade generally lacks forethought, imagination and creativity. It’s apparent to me in the parade entries and in the event planning.
