Wheelbarrow Drill Team

  • Post author:

If you’re wondering how to get involved in this Saturday’s Wallingford Kiddie Parade, may we suggest you join up with the Wheelbarrow Drill Team. Skip ahead to around 1:15 to see them practicing for last year’s parade here:

You don’t need anything special to join. You probably don’t even need a wheelbarrow (although if you have one, bring it), just show up at 10 am Saturday morning at 4412 Corliss Ave for rehearsal. Parade starts at 11 am, which leaves a full hour for some precision drilling. WCC President and gentlewoman chicken farmer Mary Heim sent this call-out:
We have several guilds represented from last year and have some new ones to add to our parade as banners or on the sides of wheelbarrows. I am writing to ask you to come out and join us in the parade. We would like to have children of any age, 8 to 80, in our wheelbarrow corps.
They’d like to decorate the wheelbarrows as floats, so if you have a float idea, jump in. Contact Cathy or Mary for more info.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
