And a great spot to watch the 34th Annual Yountville Day parade … a day to be proud to be a Yountvillite judging by the lawn chairs and locals who came out in force to line (just one deep mind you) the main street. There were fire engines, a marching band, old biddy scooters, twirling baton girls, ride-on mowers, flags and old cars. True American dream.
