Good Morning, and happy day-after Thanksgiving!  Five Sparrows is coming to you live this morning from Howell, Michigan, in our mobile office that is currently parked right ON the parade route!

Five Sparrows Mobile Office

We will be providing updates all day long here on our blog, and also through our other social networking channels (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) to share updates, photos, and the general festivities going on today for this long-standing Livingston County tradition!

We arrived this morning at about 7:30 a.m., and there were already chairs lined up in several “key” positions on the parade route…we were very lucky to find a great parking spot, with room for the mobile office as well as front-row seating for our chairs on the sidewalk for later.  The parade doesn’t actually start until 7 p.m., but we (like a lot of other early-birds) are all set for the main event this evening.

Traffic is still flowing on Grand River Ave., although some of the side streets have already been closed off.  I’m sure as the day goes on, we will be seeing fewer and fewer cars as more traffic barricades go up!

More later…
