If you think small-town Conneticut isn't ghetto fabulous, then you've 
never seen Willimatic's annual boom box parade. The event was born in
1986, when budget cuts left the local high school without a marching
band.
In true D.I.Y. spirit, residents simply tune their radios to AM station
WILI (which obliged by playing Sousa-style tunes) and hit the streets.
The tradition continues, and anyone can join in, but don't be late.
The parade begins at 11a.m. and lasts about 75 minutes, barley long
Enough for your batteries to die. (http://www.wili.com/am/parade.html)
