We stayed for the parade, the firefighter demonstration and part of the dog training demonstration. We left before the end of the demonstration lest anyone get a perforated ear drum from <em>La Ni\u00f1a&#8217;s<\/em> screaming.<\/p>\n<p>Below is the Middleton Town Crier and his accomplice. I can only marvel at how much terrible hot misery this poor lady must have been in. Beyond sporting gloves, petticoats, a full dress, a hat, boots and a blouse, she was also wearing a wig!<\/p>\n<p>The border collie puppy is named Duncan. He came over to say hello to <em>La Ni\u00f1a<\/em> when he should have been doing his training exercises. I swear she is a dog whisperer.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-6895 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wend.ca\/?attachment_id=6889'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/wend.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/2006-07-22_4385.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wend.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/2006-07-22_4385.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wend.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/2006-07-22_4385-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wend.ca\/?attachment_id=6892'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/wend.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/2006-07-22_4392.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wend.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/2006-07-22_4392.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wend.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/2006-07-22_4392-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wend.ca\/?attachment_id=74623'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/wend.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/med-img_0910-400x400.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nBefore heading off to the beach we went to see the Heart&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wend.ca\/?p=6895\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Middleton&#8217;s Heart of the Valley Days&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":74623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,573,112],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-canada","category-middleton","category-nova-scotia","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6895"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6895\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":75222,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6895\/revisions\/75222"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/74623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
