Re-post 2025:

Says Jean,   “Today was the ultimate kazoo experience. If you want to have more fun than a barrel of monkeys, join the Kazoo band. We were greeted enthusiastically on every street…there’s nothing that compares to hearing Yankee Doodle Dandy played by over one hundred kazooers!!   Days Ice Cream Parlor sponsored us and fed us after the Parade with sandwiches, soda and ice cream!”
