Thanksgiving parade

Many people recognize the Macy's parade as the main parade of Thanksgiving. But, in Plymouth Massachusetts there is another important Thanksgiving parade called America's Hometown parade. This parade began in 1996 and is traditionally held on the weekend before Thanksgiving. People came up with the name for it by thinking about the Plymouth colony that was the arriving point of the Pilgrims that took part of the "First Thanksgiving". America's Hometown parade is not like all others.America's Hometown parade is strict about the decorations and floats. It doesn't have or allow huge blow-up balloons of famous characters like the Macy's parade. In exchange of that it has element's based on the history of The United States.and arranged in chronological order. At the beginning, bands start off the parade. Later on in the parade  colonial era floats that have turkeys and all kinds of things drive past the people. At the end, to make it a little more entertaining, they have modern dancers perform that end the glorious parade.

I can see you put a lot of research into this blog and how you compared the two different parades.
