I LOVE A PARADE !   Hi I am Jim Duell Of Perry, NY  and I really enjoy taking time to build all the web pages using all of my previous years of pictures in each site. This is about the 25th site that I have built with pictures of all the Fairs & Festivals that I have gone to for the past 7 years now. If you would like to see some of them just type in jim duell in your search bar and amazingly the sites I have come to life. I use Yahoo and if you click on the image tab at the top of the search page about 8 pages of my pictures come up and everyone is mine except about the last 10 on page 8. In the year 2001 I took 5,015 pictures for the whole year and each site I build has only 72 spots for photos so, I have a lot that isn't posted. I am still working on this. Thank You for sharing your time checking these pages out. I REALLY ENJOY BALLOON SHOWS The Balloon Shows Around The State Are My Favorite Places To Spend A Weekend. Carol & I Go To As Many In A Season As We Can. Sometimes The Weather Has Its Say To Stay Home But, We Always Find Someplace On The Weekend To Go. In September We Go To The Adirondack Balloon Festival In Glens Falls, NY Which Is A Four Day Event If The Weather Is Good. Going Since 1999 We Have Had Only 2 Different Times That No Balloons Went Up Due To The Rain. On Labor Day Weekend Is The New York State Festival Of Balloons In Dansville, NY Which Is Only 25 Miles From Home. On The Last Weekend Of July Is The Perry Sea Serpent Balloon Festival In Perry, NY. Then In Early July Is The Great Wellsville Balloon Rally In Wellsville, NY.

HARBORFEST WEEKENDS ARE UNFORGETABLE

Around The Last Part Of July Is The Annual Oswego Harborfest Which Is A 4 - Day Event. I Go On The Saturday Of The Festival. There Is A Lot Going On And You Can Visit The Tall Ships That Come To The Port Of Oswego For The Weekend. When Carol & I Go We Always Get Plenty Of Pictures,Especially Pictures Of The Lighthouse. There Are A Lot Of Great Resturants In Town That All Have Great Meals For All 4 - Days. The Fireworks Are The Best Ever. This Is A 45 Minute Display With A Terrific Finnally. I Get Plenty Of Pictures Of These Fireworks. I Love Doing Fireworks Here And At Lake George. Both Places Are Spectuclar.

DO YOU LIKE RAILROADING !!

The Railroads Around The Area Have Always Been A Favorite Pasttime Of Mine. I Have Been Following The Progression Of The Erie Railroad Depot In Hornell, NY. The Depot Has Been Under Construction Since 2001 And Was Completely Restored And Finished In 2003. I Went To The Grand Open House Back In June 25 & 26 2003. They Sure Can Be Proud Of The Super Job That Was Done.  A Special Thanks Really Goes To Hornell Mayor Shawn Hogan Who Has Done A Super Job On Getting This Depot Restored To The Fullest. Great Job Guys !!!  I Have Gone Down To Hornell About Every 3 Months To Check Out The Progress From The Begainning. I Have Taken Over 100 Pictures Each Time I Visit Of The Different Changes That Have Been Done Each Time I Visit.

SUPER FIREWORKS DISPLAY I Love Doing Fireworks At Any Event That I Go To. If I Know Ahead Of Time I Bring At Least 3 Camera's With Me All Loaded With 400 Speed Film So I Don't Have To Stop And Add A Roll In The Dark. Taking Fireworks At The Oswego Harborfest With Great Sunset Pictures Before The Fireworks Go Up At 9:30 PM. I Also Get Great Fireworks At Lake George During The Adirondack Balloon Festival And The Moonglow Ceremonies. Looking Into 2005 For Some Different Places Around Home That Have Great Fireworks. I Will Be Putting Together A Fireworks Website Soon To Display All The Pictures That I Now Have. JIMDUELL@YAHOO.COM
