We open this part with a ferccious snow storm! Woo-wee! The snow is really blowing here! They need 5 guys to load the truck with snow! I like the tow lines, though I wonder what kind of traction those tires had¡¦Awww!! Look at the kid looking outside!!! We then have more people scenes.. we then cut to ANOTHER corn husking competition it looks like¡¦ Someone brought his gun! BLAM! No idea what he just shot.. Anyways, the men sure like these corn husking contests.. Cash prizes! Woo! Then we get to see some ducks, no doubt scurrying away from all that gunfire.. After that more street life, men eating a a banana, people going to malt shops, people walking around, etc. Nothing really worth mentioning. From there, back to school! As we see kids leaving school for the day.. Not much posing here¡¦ And then we cut to ANOTHER parade! My god, how many parades can a small town have? T Well now wait.. that was short¡¦ what¡¦ was that? Was that a military procession?? A funeral? Hmmm¡¦ Then we have a CLASSIC shot.. Men hanging around¡¦. The Undertaker¡¯s shop!!! So yeah, I think that WAS some sort of funeral procession..
Nice shot of the street.. More people watching.. Hmm.. wonder where they¡¯re coming out from? We then get a glimpse of the ¡®Britton Band¡¯. Yes, every member of them. Saxaphonist, double bass, Whoops that¡¯s it. From there, the band sits and poses for us in the most bored-like state possible. And if that wasn¡¯t good enough for you, Besse does it AGAIN.. ZZzzzz¡¦ We finally get back to more street shots! Yay! These had young and old, including a few dogs. More people looking away from the camera as they're walking past, Also, a great marble match takes place, what looks to be a social, and in the centerpiece, school boys from the Britton Braves demonstrate some athletics. What's so interesting about this footage is the lack of resources for these athletes. Like they're running on a dirt road. Liked the high jump contest too, as some athletes apparently didn't know that the object was to jump OVER the bar (what looks to be a stick actually) NOT through it. After that, people watching! Ha! Very clever with the 2 woman, both go in opposite directions, making Besse confused! Whoa, check out the ultracool tricycle on the sidewalk Lot of camera shy people this time out! Yeah, same ignore the camera gesture to you lady! Love the the finger flick that guy gives! All together now, PUSH! Cute kids and seniors! We leave this segment with some guy picking away on the sidewalk.. hmm.. ok Next we have yet ANOTHER parade.. Did these people have a parade every DAY? This is like the 7th parade Ive seen on here.. Nice balladeers..Not too sure what the theme of this parade was.. Lots of little kids in it though Hard to read most of the signage here Nice horse drawn wagon Whoa, the strand car is rather strange.. GOAT HOLDING UP THE PARADE!! (I hate when that happens), OK, seriously, the cars are going WAY to fast here.. Finally the parade ends.. Whoa.. Balladeers perform for us!! Thank you girls!! Hmm.. rather large crowd for THAT, whats that about? As we fade to black.. Next we have some track and field competions! Earlier I was saying how there was hardly any facilities for these, but nothing has improved! Sheesh, you think someone would read these reviews and make some improvemts.. Anyways, ¾ of the jumpers still cant make it over the bar, the track conditions are shit. Whoo! After a race we see a athlete almost collapse! WIMP! After more racing, discus and long jumping, we see a guy with a suit and tie doing a shot put, then Besse runs it backwards! Wee! After that, more street shots! Whoa! Tall girl alert! Shes easily 6 feet tall.. After some mugging of some local kids, (what was on his feet?) we go to City Hall! Right beside it is a Liquor store. LOL! Love it.. Back to the streets! Oh god.. ANOTHER PARADE! More bands The band looks weary (MAYBE BECAUSE THERES A PARADE EVERY WEEK?) Like the kids marching with the band! After some more kids mugging on a vehicle, we go back to the streets.. Whoa, an old codger does a classic I dont want to filmed! Gesture by waving his hands wildly.. Hmmm, people are doing more posing.. Is that teen kid giving a gang signal? Ha ha, lady does the walk right into the camera routine.. Like we havent seen that before (yawn).. Look! Easter bunny ears on the ladys head! Then we get an overview of the basketball teams! We have them holding basketballs AND throwing them! Theyre also doing basketball poses, Look theyre all holding the ball! Look theyre playing defense! Look! A one handed basketball grip! Actually, the whole sequence is somewhat homoerotic, not too sure why OK! Back to babies!! Aww! Next we see a badly damaged car Hm, what happened there? OK, back to the streets1 Old codger! Stop making faces!
