Transcona Parade and the Butterfly Lade - Dana Lawrence

This year there are about 70 parades in various communities all over Manitoba. Transcona is, I believe, the first of the parade season. Congratulations to the people in Transcona for an excellent event.

The photos show scenes from the parade including the Red Hatters (second photo), Susan the Clown (third photo), and a friendly maple leaf (bottom).

After the Transcona Parade, I visited several of the booths. One featured the Butterfly Lady - Dana Lawrence (to my left in the top photo). She specializes in raising butterflies and in setting them free.

If you are looking for a unique gift - a live butterfly with fresh flowers - call Dana at 222-5312.

Dana says: "When you capture a butterfly, make a wish and set it free. In return, it will take your wish to the heavens above where your wish will be granted."
