Last Saturday was warm and sunny and we watched the Tub Parade in Lenox. The Tub Parade commemorates the Gilded Age, when tycoons as Westinghouse, Carnegie and Proctor made Lenox their summer retreat. Each September, these families closed their mansions and marked the end of the season with a parade down Main Street showcasing their prized horses, carriages (also known as "tubs"). The carriages were decorated with flowers and the riders were in period costume. The horses ranged from miniature ponies to Belgian draft horses with feet as big as frying pans
