June 9, 2015 I Kissed a Goat and I Liked It!

Last Saturday, Pam and I had a booth at Spencer Pride.  It was a beautiful day for the festival and we were excited to celebrate the third anniversary of our first meeting - Spencer Pride 2012.

Pam had the bright idea to enter Lloyd the Goat in the pet parade. Well, Lloyd was a hit.  Adults and children alike wanted to pet Lloyd and have a picture taken with the iconic goat.  Pam was so busy hobnobbing with Lloyd's public, that she almost missed the parade!  The announcer stated that the pets were to line up on the south side of the courthouse - no Lloyd.  The announcer said that the parade was to start and the pets were to take a lap around the courthouse block - no Lloyd.  I finally found the two of them on the opposite side of the courthouse talking to a woman and her alpacas!  

"Pam," I screamed, "the parade has begun!" 

She and Lloyd ran across the lawn to the south side of the courthouse to catch up with the already started parade.  Poor Lloyd was so tired out from all of his hobnobbing, that he practically had to be dragged around the block!  Lloyd was disappointed that he did not win a prize in the parade, however, he made many new friends and has promised to return to Spencer Pride next year wearing a fabulous outfit that is sure to capture the judge's attention!
