Fraser and Fowlerville, MI

On July 19th, Reflections was a feature of the City of Fraser Annual Picnic & Parade. Fallman & Walsh Funeral Home has been a participant in the Fraser community for many years, and made arrangements to have Reflections out at the event to celebrate their corner of southeast Michigan. Jim Walsh of Fallman & Walsh Funeral Home was there with his vintage 36 Auburn Funeral Coach, and dressed in period clothes of that time. With Jim as our added attraction we had lots of interest in the exhibit.
The trailer, with its impressive graphic wrap, became a favorite backdrop for other participants in the parade to have their picture taken. Jim was always standing proudly by!

When the parade began, Jim led the way distributing flags to families along the parade route.

After the parade, the exhibit was parked and opened to the public. Many visitors came through in a few short hours, and Jim had a chance too share some of the historic and educational aspects his profession with the community.

The weekend after the Fraser event, Reflections was down the road to the west at the Fowlerville Family Fair for the fair's Veterans and Government Day. Amidst the musical acts and animals, the Reflections exhibit gave people a place to pause and reflect on the ways that we honor those who served our country.

Although Reflections was only out at the Fair for one day, and a bit of a rainy one at that, a lot of excitement and interest was shown by visitors.
