There's a flurry of activity all around the pavilion at Breitbeck Park.
Every corner is filled with children, some of whom are still in strollers.
Others range in age from 3 to their early teens. Lots of kids, and lots of parents, working on projects for the Children's Parade. Everyone, it seems, is talking at once. The sounds mingle together to create an electrifying hum that you can feel. The pavilion looks and sounds like a beehive.
