President Banana and First Lady A-Peeling rock out to the hot tunes being played on the White House float, which was surrounded on all sides by dark-suited Secret Service personnel. In order to get a better picture of the float, your intrepid reporter and webmaster of 101Bananas made the mistake of stepping off the curb into the street and taking a few steps towards President Banana. A Secret Service agent instantly identified the threat and immediately drew his... uh... banana....
I never saw a purple cow either....
One ton banana pudding float, with the Banana Festival queen and her court.
What everyone’s been waiting for!
The parade route goes north along Broadway St. in South Fulton, Tennessee, and crosses E. State Line St. into Fulton, Kentucky, at which point Broadway becomes Commercial Ave. After the parade the banana pudding float circles back and parks in the middle of Commercial Ave. in front of Pontotoc park, a small city park. The prime seats for enjoying the general atmosphere and your serving of banana pudding are along the sidewalk and curb of Commercial Ave. where the pudding float parks, and across from Pontotoc park where the concert will be later. There is an old Hindu saying, roughly translated from the ancient Sanskrit, that says you have not truly lived, or lived well (translations differ on the exact meaning), until you have sat on a sidewalk curb in Fulton, Kentucky, consuming some delicious banana pudding as the sun goes down at the end of the Banana Festival.
After the parade, a concert in the park Saturday night ends the Banana Festival. Until next year....
