July 4th Parade


Every year Danville has it's world famous July 4th parade. I think they have been doing this since 1776 and very little has changed. Everyone in town puts out their lawn chairs the night before to claim valuable territory along the parade route. Chairs range for $10 Costco specials to $300 lounge chairs. Of course no one steals them as this is Danville.

Parade day we all sit out in the hot sun and watch the same people march past us every year.

This year there was a new entrant into this glorious event. None other than Conner! He marched (strolled really) with his cub scout troop, held up the banner and passed out candy to the crowd. A fun time was had, but he was glad to be done so that he could sit, hang out, and collect candy.

Can't wait until next year!
