Every Year In February

 Yes, it was that time again for the one big event in the little California town of Holtville. The annual Carrot festival was luring us into town to watch the 79th carrot parade.

While I in previous years have posted images, this year I put together a short video with some of the most interesting views taken from the sidewalk.

For those of you who are not familiar with Holtville,CA, it is a town built on agriculture. It is part of the Imperial Valley which stands for a huge percentage of all vegetables produced in the US. And in order to get those veggies to your super market, thousands of people from Mexico and Central America are working in the fields. So if you are one of those who support the removal of those people from the US, you should think about the field workers toiling in all kind of whether to actually produce your food, while others are qualified healthcare employees or construction workers.
