The folks in Geezerville North are busy today. They are decorating their RVs with red, white and blue bunting. The golf carts are getting fancied up with patriotic symbols too. The poor dogs are begging not to be dressed up in Uncle Sam costumes. The kids are hoping they will catch some candy that will be tossed from the golf carts. Everything is in a red, white and blue swirl. The patriotism is catching too as folks who have not decorated their homes or RVs or golf carts are thinking what they can do at the last minute.
Our wonderful hardware store is out of bunting. Up till last week, there were bolts of red-white-blue cloth, but they are gone. I bet they'll sell you some RWB paint though (but, I've not checked).
Tomorrow the golf carts will parade around the RV park about 930. I've had a preliminary look at a couple of them. I can only imagine what 50 or more golf carts will look like. Later on, in town, there will be a "regular" parade with cowboys and cowgirls on their horses, the only fire engine will be all shined up and decorated, as will tractors and cultivators. There will be floats decorated by our kids, 4H critters will be led by their persons, strutting their stuff, and so much more. It is an old-fashioned Independence Day parade. This is a big parade for a very small town. Don't expect anything commercial or posh like the Rose Bowl Parade. Our 4th of July Main Street Parade and Extravaganza is simple with folks celebrating our independence from England 248 years ago. Happy Birthday America. Tomorrow night we'll have fireworks to cap off the events of the day.
I hope you have a wonderful old-fashioned Independence Day Parade to go to too. I hope you get to see fireworks (or drone shows) tomorrow night. What you need to do now is get ready for the holiday. Happy Independence Day! Remember, we're all in this together.
