The second Saturday in May is Peacock Days in Pavo, Georgia. Since Stefanie and Danny lived in Pavo when they first got married and Danny has family living there, they still visit often. It's about a 20-30 min drive from Thomasville. So, we decided to head to Pavo this past Saturday to participate in the festivities---parade, food and craft booths, games for the kids, and antiques. It was an overcast day, but it was still very warm and humid.
Before the parade began, they started with a prayer
Here is the beginning of the Parade. The Thomasville HS band played the "Star Spangled Banner"
The celebrated bird
Every parade in Georgia has to have a tractor!
Of course, we have to have some monkey business. I was so disappointed to find out from Ethan that this was just a man dressed up like a gorilla instead of a real gorilla ;)
Got to have a Confederate hearse
Pavo Royalty
The petting area - Emily LOVED the goats
...and the seemed to like her too. Ethan and Grandma Mainprize are petting the goat in the rear.
Emily's 1st pony ride. She was apprehensive at first, but ended up enjoying it as long as her daddy would hold her hand and walk along
And so did Ethan...
It was a fun day for all! And here is a 2003 music video made by country-western singer Alan Jackson "The Little Man" that was filmed in Pavo and Barwick Georgia.
