It appears that Paperhand Puppet Intervention made a special visit to Greensboro for First Friday. The above photo shows one of the puppets with its hands splayed gracefully across South Elm Street. Paperhand's large-scaled puppets are meant to inspire and satisfy. The JP Building stands, majestically, in the background. From Center City Park to the corner of South Elm at Lee Street, the people of Greensboro seemed pretty satisfied with First Friday 2014. It was sufficiently crisp outside to make it feel like a winter holiday, and to make the artificial snowflakes feel real, yet, not too cold to be uncomfortable. Tomorrow, by day, the town will transform with residents lining the streets to watch the bands and floats in the 37th Annual Jaycee Parade.
First Friday seems to hearld in the holiday. Today's Christmas/holiday parade and tomorrow's craft fair at the Yanceyville Farmers Market really make it seem a lot like Christmas. Let's all spread some joy!
That's impressive, and very different!
