4th of July parade in Park Hill

What can be nicer than to sit in the shadow on the road shoulder and watch the 4th of July parade? Many things, actually, but... this is one of the best things you can do when the Summer sun is so hot, the asphalt is melting... Just make sure you have enough water and the shadow is deep ;)

 

Most of the 4th of July parade's look similar. First the cars are showing up... Starting with a fire track and following with a classic Corvette and something old, straight from 1960th ;)

The next part is mostly different from town to town but this day in Park Hills scouts followed the marines.

 

Next... the school orchestra was the next. With some loud marches and rifle exercises ;)

I never saw the RC car towing the cart where the operator was navigating... And he was surrounded by dozen of other RC cars, small and wiggly.

Bicycles, bicycles and bicycles again. There were a lot of bicycles that day on the Park Hill streets and many of them were part of the parade too.

It was a nice and touching performance. It looked similar to others and also different from them. And everybody was having a good time. What can be better than that, hah?

Actually, I know what can be better - how about fireworks? ;)
