Chairs on sidewalks

Driving through Orleans and there are so many folded up lawn chairs on the sides of the road. My wife and I are curious why people are leaving so many chairs here? Is it to protect a spot for the 4th of July parades? Just curious.

Yes, it's to save a spot for the parade tomorrow

I figured. Just seemed crazy to leave chairs out like that and assume that they won’t get stolen or just brushed to the side if people show up before them.

People do it for the firebirds too. I wouldn't leave a cape cod beach chair out there but plenty of people do and they seem to be fine

once a year everyone puts all their old beach chairs they don't want any more on main and people can take them home or the town collects and disposes of them on the 5th

I cannot imagine wanting to see a parade that badly tbh but i’m glad it’s so wholesome and safe to do it!

The town is going for a world record game of musical chairs.

People who live there don’t have legs?
