Emily Anne was all dressed up in a costume; she loved to dress up. She spent most of her days dressed as Cinderella. But this day was different; just about everyone was in costumes.

We were surprised at the large number of cars that arrived that week-end bearing license plates from Michigan, Ohio and other states.
