I'm reposting this from the Subsonic facebook group page because this was just perfect and something magical I will take with me to the grave.
I honestly don't think anything will ever top the fact that I (along with my mom and a group of people we talked with around us while we waited) got to sing happy birthday to Dick Van Dyke right when he first stepped out to the podium and got ALL of Main Street to join in. At first we just shouted happy birthday but then we started to sing it and he was all surprised but so very humbled and all smiles about it. After we finished he went, "Thank you, but it isn't my birthday we are celebrating!" At least after the ceremony ended, the choir was more prepared because they started it off and he got surprised again at the podium! He didn't even expect a second round but was all smiles and thanked the crowd. But to know that you and a few people started it off at random and caught him a bit off guard but left him smiling was the cherry on top of a very incredible day. I don't have any good photos on my phone to post but I will hopefully upload them tonight or tomorrow! Beautiful ceremony, by the way. Well worth the two and a half wait in front of City Hall. 87 looks incredible on him!
