Recently the Colorado Workforce Center in Rocky Ford asked me to represent my agency in the 131st annual Arkansas Valley parade. In this parade most people drive tractors to represent their company or interest group. I thought this to be appropriate and I thought I would best represent my agency and type of operation I run out here in the Arkansas Valley with a lawn tractor. The girls in the office thought I would also well represent my agency by wearing an old pair of overalls, a straw hat, and some rubber boots. So I did. The day started out very nice but just as I was told to go I was greeted with a torrential down-pour. So as you will see here I am soaked. This is the beginning of the parade. I had at least 4 more blocks to go. I think they chose the largest stretch of street they could. -Ben

that's so funny, I hope it was a warm rain. Ben you make the perfect farmer look, I can just see you in 40 years wearing overalls every day and riding your john deere to the general store. However, you also pull off the professional appearance well (it must be the lawyer genes).
You guys are really living it up down there! (I guess it would be "up there" now that we moved) That is so great that Ben got the overalls and everything.
