Independence Day in small town America

The small town for us, Burns, Oregon.  Start with a parade.  Follow it with a free community BBQ.  Throw in a grilled hotdog picnic supper.  Wrap up the day with fireworks.  That is a classic Independence Day.  Parade highlights included Smoky the Bear and a BLM super soaker (a tanker truck with a huge pump and nozzle) that they sprayed along the parade route for the kids to play in.  We skipped the BBQ and opted for another fundraiser lunch of ribs and the trimmings.  The fireworks show was nicely done.  It gets a few extra points since we could watch it from our lawn chairs in camp.  Kent got a few pics.
