On Sunday, August 16th, Bennington pulled out all stops to commemorate the 45th Bennington Battleday Parade. This state holiday celebrates a battle fought in 1777 during the Revolutionary War to ensure that the provisions for Bennington and the colonial army would be safe. As the 14 bands and musical groups and 16 floats passed by with all splendor and pride, people of all ages came to the tarp for Empty Bowls. Consider the connection of community coming together to preserve the safety of supplies both in the history of this area and today for all those who are struggling to feed themselves and their families despite the economic crisis that impacts us all. Here are some pictures of those who came to make a bowl - to make a difference.
