4th of July Parade - 1978


We've been going Up North for the 4th of July since Day 1.  LDF has a parade every year.  It's grown through the years, it was pretty basic when these shots were taken, ok it's still pretty basic.  We haven't been going the past few years, but I suspect that will change real soon.  Like most local parades the highlight is the kids, and all the candy that gets thrown around like rockets.  Note the Standard sign in the second shot.  Back in 1978 there were two gas stations, an Ace hardware, several restaurants, and several other businesses...but no casino.



Here's Scott and my Dad scoring some candy from one of the clowns.  The parade watchers present an interesting mix.
