Jamestown 4th of July Parade

Each 4th of July is a big deal in the beautiful village of Jamestown. The day starts early with the arrival of a dozen or so cars, twice as many tractors, horsedrawn carriages, riders on horseback, children on bikes, floats from the local businesses and churches...on and on.

This is Ken's truck. My my. 427 with all the noise of that big block just screaming at us all. What a hunk of burnin' horses!




I remember our first year in Jamestown, we said it was a "dog and pony show," because that is what it was. Dogs were dressed in their finest, ponies everywhere. It has matured a bit since then, but it is still a wonderful treat to have this big gathering in such a small (5,000 person) community.





I wish I had some pictures of some of the other items I mentioned, but I had no idea I would be writing a blog! Please enjoy what there is and I promise for 2008 there will be more!!
