Here's a slideshow.
Missed the candidates at VSU Tuesday?
You can
watch them on video (now with a third viewpoint).
And you can come to Hahira tomorrow to see them in the
31st Annual Hahira Honey Bee Festival, Inc. Parade.
Here are some
pictures and videos from last year.
The food and festivities start early in the morning and continue all day,
with the parade in the middle.
They had about 35,000 people last year, more than a dozen times
the usual population of Hahira.

Hahira's biggest event of the year, the Hahira Honeybee Festival,
filled up Main Street from the Middle School to Branch Street.
Last year reputedly drew 25,000 people; I'm no expert, but I'll be surprised
if there weren't at least as many this year.
Here are
pictures in a slideshow
and
videos in a playlist.
No local parade is complete without the Georgia Bridgemen Lowndes High School band marching.
You can tell by all the City Council candidates that there's
an election going on.
See if you can spot the mayor.
(I didn't, until I was revewing the pictures.)
My favorite is this one of
Charles Henry Hobrat.
