Independence Day in the Great USA

July 4, 2010 Lake City is known around these parts for their Independence Day celebrations. The morning parade along the highway that runs thru town gets it all started. Appropriately, the veterans led the parade – can’t help getting a lump in the throat as they progress down the route, proudly hoisting the flag. The Arts Center hosts a used book sale which the girls enjoyed – a big hit obviously since they all came home with bags of books. There were many other activities that we didn’t participate in, but we did find a great vantage point to watch the fireworks show at night – however, a cold front moved in with rain and so we had to dash for shelter, but we ventured out into the rain to view the finale.
