Hope you had a happy and safe independence day--I did!
I went to the parade my community has held every year since 1974; there were 76 entries this year!
The weather was great and we had a great time waving to everyone who passed by. Everyone loves a parade!
It certainly makes me proud of our country and the many freedoms we enjoy....I thought I'd share a few photos to give you a small taste of this wonderful parade. Enjoy!
