rabill days Band members Joe Stueipe, Bobby McDaniel, Karen Witte, and Ann Reece march in the heat at the annual parade. Enjoying the Grab ' .ll Mennonite puppet show, the children stay entertained during a very hot Saturday afternoon at the fair. r U To all of us Crablll Days was about the same, but it was something completely different when seen — Through The Eyes Of A Child Peering through the legs and bodies, the little boy stood at the side lines. Trying desperately to see, he pushed his way to the edge of the street, eagerly antici- pating the parade. Suddenly, he heard it — the long piercing noise of the blood-red firetruck. The thirteenth annual Grabill Days Pa- rade was about to begin. The little boy sat wide-eyed as it moved past hinn slowly. He nervously awaited the candy to be thrown to him, as he saw other children rush to pick up the pieces. From a dis- tance the boy heard the sound of horses ' hooves as they started to 70 Lifestyles — Crabill Days round the corner. The finale of the parade was clowns walking beside antique cars. His parents tried to explain to him how his grandparents had once ridden in cars like that. Soon after the parade ended, people flocked to the downtown area of Grabill. Tuning out all dis- tractions, the boy let his bright eyes wander through the spectac- ular arrangement of colors and events. Clowns giving out brightly colored balloons, puppets gaily dancing on a stage, and people walking here and there were just a few of the sights the small boy had taken in. Looking down on his shirt, he saw the many different tasty treats he had eaten: the drib- ble from the ice-cream cone, th e spot from a bite of his mother ' s apple-dumpling, and cinnamon on his sleeve from the elephant ear. Exhausted after his long day, the little boy dragged himself to the car. He sat in the backseat think- ing over the wonderful day he had just had, as his parents drove home from the fair. While reliving his day, the little boy closed his eyes and fell asleep.
