Early Saturday morning, it's time to tryout Rick Wierzbicki's brand new tent |
Contrary to popular belief, sometimes reading the instructions does help |
See, reading them does help once in a while |
Barb Berger fools Jim Hilburger into stopping work and reviewing a "poster" |
|
|
|
|
|
It is a framed, signed article about the AAW "Sages" of which Jim Hilburger is named as one |
Jim Hilburger and Jake Debski get one of the tables set up |

Our booth was located directly behind the historic Town Hall on Main Street in East Aurora |
|
|
|
|
|
The Town Hall is adjacent to the Roycroft Shops |
Along with the early morning setup is the remote controlled fire dog amusing the kids |
The tent's up, the merchandise displayed, the crew gets a rest until the festival opens |
Meanwhile on Main Street, some of the parade cars head to the staging areas |
|
|
|
|
|
And even some of the cars not in the parade get moving before the street is closed to traffic |
Some folks had chairs setup days ahead for the parade, some folks set up their chairs at the last minute |
At 11am sharp on Saturday morning, the parade down Main Street kicks off the ToyFest 2004 |
What parade would be complete without pipers? |
|
|
|
|
|
Among all of the school bands, dancers, magicians, and more are the Fisher Price classic toy floats |
While the parade lasted two hours, the Fisher Price floats are great attractions |
Barb Berger, Kurt and Kathy Hertzog, and a stranger have ring side seats next to the reviewing booth |
