Parade Day in Russin, Switzerland

First, we went the to Marche Divonne, which happens every Sunday. We love this market! Especially nice is this fish dealer. Their fish is exquisitely fresh, and the prepare it for you on the spot. The fish mongers behind the counter are clearly having a great time doing this!

Then, we went to this wonderful fair (fete?) in Russin, Switzerland, just south of Meyrin (the location of the main CERN site in Switzerland, just west og Geneva). This shot of some girls in a sunflower-laden carriage is particularly lovely.
Several of the floats were passing out samples. This one was passing out fresh apple cider. We didn't take any pictures of the ones handing out wine--we were trying to get some instead! :-)
There were four marching bands. This one seems to be high-school-age folks.

This wonderful little bacd consisted of piccalos and snare drums. They were pretty good. And notice the "joker" outfits they are wearing. Very nice!

Here is a movie of some of this lovely parade!

I couldn't resist taking this picture back in Divonne. Can you figure out what it means?
