[MD] Full "Strawberry" Moon

[John Carl]

Here on the west coast, we call it the Cherry Moon...

Ok, actually just me.

I'm proud to announce that the contest is over, and Cassiopeia Dawn Pryor
will be the Cherry Festival Parade Queen tomorrow, as the whole town of
North San Juan lines the HWY 49 to view the floats, the pageantry, the pomp
and circumstance.

Not only that, but she'll be featured in the much bigger and more popular
4th of July Parade in GrassValley/Nevada City.

The contest was over who sold the most raffle tickets and it appears that
Dad's trick of using social networking (Facebook/Paypal) put Cassi over the
top.

Go Cass!

All week she's been practicing her parade queen wave.
